[flexbackup-help] horrible performance with disk archive restores

[Jeff B. <je...@je...>]

Hello,

I remotely manage a super fast CAD server with 2Gb of Ram and gobs of
disk space.  I perform two flexbackup backups a night.  One to an
external USB2 disk, and one to tape.  The disk backup is helpful because
they only have 5 tapes.  Anyway, the "full" backups to disk are 25-35 Gb
files.  Whenever I try to restore a file from one of these files, it
takes 5-7 hours to complete.  Running a restore from tape only takes a
fraction of this time.

Is there anything I can do to optimize the performance of this.  I'm
using RedHat 9 on this box.
