Faster dump program?

Now that we are getting more and bigger disks on our SUNs, the full dumps
are taking longer and longer.  We're using "dump" to make backups to
6250BPI tape.  dump seems to spend an inordinate amount of its time doing
tape positioning.

Is there a backup utility that is faster than "dump"?
