One quick question: does anybody know if there are any technical
reasons causing the Apple Tape Backup to be so sloooooooooooooow, or is
it just a case of lousy software supplied with the hardware ?

Spending three hours to backup 40M of data ('backup files' mode) seems
to be a bit excessive, no?  Especially since 'backup volume' does the
same thing in ~40 minutes.

Inquiring minds want to know ...
