No. dd is the only way you will get the raw devices backed up to tape. The way you speed up performance is to set the block size parameter of the dd command equal to a multiple of your tape block size (ie: bs=4096).

If your raw devices are huge, do not go over 20Kb. Good luck. Received on Thu Nov 30 1995 - 00:00:00 CET
