Hi, Thanks. I ran it again with attribute spooling. That sped up the backup of data to the disk pool - instead of 6 hours it took less than 2 - but writing the file metadata afterwards took nearly 6 hours.

Hi, the problem might be number of files, as in, writing all the file metadata to the catalog could very well be your bottle neck. Try enabling attribute spooling, so all the metadata is collected and commited to the DB in one go instead of file by file.
