Good equation Few Large Files = Faster Backup Many Small Files = Slower Backup This is mainly due to inability to stream data with small files thus causing the tape drive to have to periodically rewind.

Course it also depends on how many files you're backing up. We have a server that has over 1.5 million files that we back up separately. That back up only runs at about 20 meg/minute.

According to the tape drive, I can get up to 6MB / sec. Hard to Tape gets me 10 MB / min Hard to Hard in the system gets me 20 MB / min. I have even disabled anti virus and defraged the files before backing up. At 12:35 PM 4/3/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I think a lot depends on the tape drive.
