Setting the storage unit fragment size will speed up restores somewhat. 
 What you REALLY need is the FlashBackup add-on, which is a very nice 
solution to your exact problem.  (the Vision conference last year 
included a very cool presentation about using FlashBackup to back up 
human genome research data - *millions* of files comprising a few 
gigabytes of space.)

So what you should do is call your Veritas sales rep and ask him when 
FlashBackup will be released for HP-UX. (since LIH it's only available 
for Solaris and Auspex)
