- I backup roughly one gig of user files spread across four 530's onto a
- 550 with one of the 8mm tapes. It takes me between two and three hours,
- depending on network traffic (which can be very high) and CPU
- usage (which tends to be relatively low, for the four 530s). When making
- a SMIT backup of the 550 host, it takes me about an hour (for 700+- megs).
