Are you using Turbostore?

There is an on-line option.  (Don't know the cost).

And you could add a second DDS3 and backup in parallel and complete the
backup in half the time, while doing an on-line backup.  There should
only be a 5 minute "synch" downtime.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Thinking about a new tape drive

I have a 939ks-020 running 6.0pp2 with a DDS3 DAT drive. Currently
backups
are taking a little over 3 hours to run which is killing me when I try
and
squeeze my nightly production run around it.

What would be a good upgrade to the DAT that my system can keep a steady
stream of data into? I don't want to spend a ton of cash on a drive my
3000
cannot keep busy.

Thanks
