Re: Backup problem
What are you backing up? A lot of very small files could take more time that one big file.
What is the backup software that you are using? What is the block size used?
You can try backing up test data using:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=256k count=4096

Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

Re: Backup problem
the default blocksize (512bytes I guess) might hurt performance, but I'm not sure if to that extent; still, try raising it to 64kish...
yesterday I stood at the edge. Today I'm one step ahead.
