Gene's mention of compression reminded me. If you are using
disk drive compression you have to feed data at a higher rate
to the drive than if it

I've been using 10GB DLT tapes for my Amanda setup, however, they are
getting old so I am replacing them. I saw no point in trying to find
10GB tapes, so I've purchased 40GB tapes instead.
I have been replacing them one at a time the day before they are to be

I thought so too. But when dump is running from one disk to the other,
it reports speeds about 20% higher (~10MB/s) than it does when running
