Are you using a holding disk?

Check whether some
Argh! I mis-typed. It is not dump files from the same host that are
slow. Instead, it is always the tape writes of backups of the same
disk list entries that are slow.
In the report, see that some borneo tape writes were fast, but one
is much slower. So why is that particluar one *always* slow? It
Yes, using software compression. But should that even matter? The
dump files are already compressed, it is only a matter of writing
them out to tape. I have hardware compression turned off on the tape
drive.

Hello list
I have noticed that some dump files take much longer than others to
write to tape. Furthermore, it is always dump files from the *same*
host that take so long. So if I do a level 0 dump of host A I might
see 4000 KB/s tape write rates. If I do a level 0 dump of host B I
might only see 1
