Hello!

Lately, we have been experiencing long running vaults.  Seems like looking
for a needle in a haystack.  Here are some of the things I have already
checked:
1) recent changes to .param files for bpvault.all
2) tape density changes (all at 35- DLT7000 drives)
3) significant increase in data being duplicated (no)
4) other processes slowing down the system in general (i.e. performance
monitoring programs- no)

It appears that a Daily Vaulting is taking longer than twice what it was
taking 2 weeks ago (were taking approximately 2-3 hours, now this week
taking greater than 6 hours).

Any trouble shooting tips that I am missing?  What have you used to track
this kind of problem down?

I am currently digging in the sar reports.  Any additional info. would be
great!  Thanks in advance!
