Unfortunately the configuration and installation of 2.4.1p1 was 
before my time here.

Would using ufsdump the way we are slow the backups down. I've 
recently with the addition of a new DLT drive split up my backups 
as they were taking 22 hours to backup less than a DLT's worth of 
data. 

Now I've split them up, our fileserver is also a tapeserver but is only 
backing up itself. It starts at 10pm and is still running 
now(10.41am) having dumped 6.2GB and the 2 largest partitions 
comprising of 13GB still to be dumped. 

As you can imagine this is not satisfactory as amanda is trying to 
backup these partitions as users are accessing them. This server 
is a sun E450 and is only backing up it's internal disks. So I'm 
running out of ideas as to why it's so slow. Any ideas?
