Re: HP-UX 11.00 FileSystem Copy with fabackup or dd or tar.

Hi Bernhard ,

Thats a good one , well i ll try it out.
I believe system with good resources , i.e CPU / RAM , will give good acceleration to dd for block size 256 and 4096. With Large File system say 10/20GB or more.

For a huge number of files cpio is slow its true.

Thanks for showing me the light ,

I prefer to use vxdump/vxrestore - fastest way I have seen:

vxdump -0 -f - -s 1000000 -b 16 /data1 | (cd /data2 ; vxrestore rf -)
