Last night I tried dumping a 300 MB file system to tape (via rdump) from a Decstation 3100 (Ultrix 3.1) to a 1/4" SCSI tape drive hanging off a Sun3 (4.0.3). rdump reported this would take 24 hours! Is anyone else using a similiar setup and getting resonable backup times? How can I get the 3100 to stream to the remote tape? Thanks Brian ----- field at cs.pitt.edu
