Have you tried using the memoryefficient=diskcache method? I'm assuming you
have. Takes a while, but on fast systems I've had pretty decent results. You
may need to go the virtual mount point route though with a file system that
large.

Hi Jim,
thank you very much for your answer.
Actually we are doing what you say. Filesystem .tar. It was a great solution
when the filesystem was 500Gb-1Tb but actually our filesystem is 14Tb. The
tar/gzip command took 10-12 days... :(
So we need another aproach
Thanks
Jorge
