Most of the time ]seems to be spent repositioning the tape. ] Is that a file backup or a volume backup? File Bup's can take much longer depending on the way the software is done. Yes, it is true that the 3M mechanism is slow but it can certainly do better than 10meg/hour. I think the apple software can do 1meg/minute on a volume Bup. steveg@tove.umd.edu
