Last night I tried dumping a 300 MB file system to tape (via rdump) from
a Decstation 3100 (Ultrix 3.1) to a  1/4" SCSI tape drive hanging off
a Sun3 (4.0.3).  rdump reported this would take 24 hours!  Is anyone
else using a similiar setup and getting resonable backup times?  How
can I get the 3100 to stream to the remote tape?

Thanks
Brian
