Hi,

We have a system backing up database files using cpio. Not sure why (just
took over the job).

Backup using TZ88 take up about 2 hours. Managed to lay my hand on a TZ89.
Going thru the specs, found that TZ88 haas a transfer rate of 1.5 MB/s while
TZ89 has a transfer rate of 5 MB/s.

Thinking to myself "Great, backup can now be completed in less than an
hour." Plugging in the new tape drive and making it as a new tape device,
imagine my disbelief that backup took me 1.5 hrs.

Any ideas?

N.B: we are using Tru64 version 4.0D.

Thanks In Advance
IvanHoe
