I don't think you quite got what Greg was illustrating. You might also contemplate who wrote the original jbackup. > however, to speed up your backup and compress it you can use: > tar -cf - bnk | gzip -1 > filename.tar.gz I don't think you quite got what I was saying and anyway: tar cvz ... does this if you use GNU tar. But, you can only use tar if the files are offline. If they are online, then your tar backup is useless. Bzip2 is a better compression system for large data streams such as tar, or perhaps 7zip. > if you need to make it even faster then you can do it in parallel, > several processes will do specific portion of the files within your > bnk directory. Except that at some point you will deflate the read-ahead logic by dancing all over the disks.
