I am running RDBMS 6.0.37.0 on a MicroVax 4200. I am trying to export to a TK70 cartridge tape drive. A backup of only about 500M takes over 12 hours to complete. I mount the tape with a blocksize of 4096. Although this was recomended years ago, I feel like the small blocksize could be contributing to the problem. I could force the export to go to a disk on another Vax through Decnet, but that is not my first choice.
If anyone has any advice on how to speed this export to tape up, I would appreciate it. So would my users. Received on Thu Mar 24 1994 - 15:18:53 CET
