Lots and lots of little files will kill you. DSSUs won't speed the job up -
after all, your disk is unlikely to be faster than your LOT4 - but will
prevent tying up a tape drive for as long.
You may also try to specify the exact mount points you want backed up
instead of using the exclude list to avoid that ugly CIFS/NFS mount point so
you're not walking the directory tree down a network path.
