I am in the process of doing an archive for the first time of a unix file system. The entire node has done backups before, and this is the first archive of a single file system. The file system I am archiving has about 100,000 files in it; however the archive has been inspecting over 3,000,000 files and has taken over a day just to inspect. Can someone please explain the process of the first time doing an archive, and if there is a way to speed the process.
