Hi all. I have a SCSI tape Backup (a Tandberg TDC4200) connected to a DTC controller. I want to backup my whole network using this drive. My problems are: 1. This thing is a lot slower than I think it should be. using dump or tar, I only get about 75Kbps. 2. The system slows WAY down. It only runs about 50% cpu usage, but is very unresponsive. I don't think it should be like this. 3. I can't get a reliable backup. I think I need to get the correct command line params for Dump, but haven't been able to find the specs for a DT4000 tape. I want to blame #1 and #2 on some sort of interrupt or DMA problem, but I am at a loss to figure it out. If anyone can help, please do so. System info. Cyrix 6x86, 48Meg Ram on-board IDE bus on-board floppy dtc3280 SCSI controller with floppy disabled. all default jumpers. IRQ=11, address = D800 etc. TDC4220 Tape with terminators installed - double checked. 8.4 Gig IDE HD SoundBlaster 16 - yep, an original. Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 RedHat 6.1 installed Ken
