[SNIP] Not so long if he is using singleton disks and one controller for both the tape and disks. For an array with multiple controllers and tapes on a separate channel yes slow. Of course we do not know what kind of tape drive he has either, a 1MB/minute drive will take 17 hours just to read the tapes, while a 10MB/minute DLT drive will do the job in under 2 hours. Art S.
