I find it has been server-dependant (...age, load, amount of storage). My storage is about half of what you have, and I know it seems to take around :45mins. ...though the servers here are not new by any means (HP Proliant DL320 G3's). The process, if I remember correctly, makes the copy of the data by using a compression statement (tar/gz). It could be the compression that is taking a while (especially on older equipment). -Pat.

I am testing qtp-backup to see how long it runs. I'm currently at 1 hour and 25 minutes and still going. Current directory (/backup/qmailbkup) size is 7.2 Gig (/home/vpopmail/domains is 16 Gig uncompressed). Is this normal? Am I running to correct/best/fastest backup script? My goal here is to put qtp-backup (or the best backup script) into a cron job that runs every night, then after waiting MORE than the amount of time it takes to run the qtp-backup script, rsync the backup file(s) over to a another server. Thanks, Scott
