It all depends. Does your largest disklist entry fit on your holding disk? Look further down in your daily report and look at the times for dumper and taper for each disklist entry. My guess is that you are doing one or more direct to tape dumps across the network, which can be extremely slow since the tape may have to repeatedly stop and reposition itself as the data trickles in.
