The problem is that the drive is *very* slow. In the following benchmark I've used the tar command: Machine Speed kb/min Backup Restore UNISYS 5000/20 316 454 UNISYS 5000/30 316 1,039 UNISYS PC/IT Xenix 1,035 1,825 Why is the backup speed exactly the same on U5000/20 and U5000/30 ? Can I do anything to speed it up ? -- Peter Fassberg Internet: pf@dsthn.datema.se Datema Systems AB UUCP: ...!uunet!dsthn.datema.se!pf P.O. Box 912 S-461 29 TROLLHATTAN SWEDEN
