You'll want to look at your dumprates before and after increasing maxdumps. 8 may lead to too much contention (disk and net), slowing you down disproportionately. As for samba vs. cygwin, I still use samba here, although I don't do whole disk dumps. I just get user data -- I'm never going to recover a whole system from tape only. The only way to know what works best for you is to try it out. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
