Lots of symbolic links? 
Archive follows links by default.

Subject: archive problem/question


I am in the process of doing an archive for the first time of a unix file 
system.  The entire node has done backups before, and this is the first archive 
of a single file system.  The file system I am archiving has about 100,000 
files in it; however the archive has been inspecting over 3,000,000 files and 
has taken over a day just to inspect.  Can someone please explain the process 
of the first time doing an archive, and if there is a way to speed the process.
