Hi All :)
   I seem to recall some unusual behavior with the online backup durations when I had a process or user holding onto things (usually quietly in a manner not easily observed)

You might want to check who and what is on the process trees?

Brian,

I can't answer for why files that have not been touched made it on the partial.  Did you do a listf, -3 to see access dates, modification dates, etc... for example if you do a PRINT ;SEARCH within MPEX without the KEEPAMDATES parameter, it may change the access dates.

However, do yourself a favor, Friends don't let friends use the INTER option.  :-)  If the tape is ever corrupt, you have virtually no chance of recovering any file.  W/O INTER, you may be able to get everything BUT the damaged file.

Also, try using MAXTAPEBUF, I have seen it work wonders, usually a 30% improvement in speed.

-Craig
