Hi
How large are the filesystems you want to backup?
How many files are in the filesystems (mostly the count of the non-OS
files is interesting)?
How long do you wait until you decide to interrupt it?
I assume, you simply have some directory with a lot of files and it
simply takes a lot of time for the archiver which stands behind
make_tape_recovery to collect the files.
You might check what is happening by using the freeware program 'trace'
Options for trace should be /path/to/trace/bin/trace -fl -o <logfile>
<command> [command-options]
trace bshould is available at
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/trace-1.6/
Best regards, Florian
