Thanks,
I will research above.

Is there a list of commands I could use to determine what is being
utilized. "top" doesn't do a good job for me at this point. It shows
SD as using 0 memory  and 20% cpu but I dont' know how much disk its
using.

I would like to know memory usage, network usage, hdd write, how much
cache is used for writing, speed of writing/reading. I have some other
processes that run and when doing a restore job they almost stopped
working, so I either need to increase the memory or speed up
read/write but I don't have enough information to get any statistics I
could use. Commands would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lucas
