Hi All,

I'm running the following command:

bpduplicate -dstunit D_stunit -backupid system.name.here_1016672594 
                -L /tmp/bpdup.ls -dp Duplication_pool -cn 1

The original backup, of 25G, took 1 hour, 47 minutes.  The above command has
been running for over 3 hours now, previous attempts were aborted after 6
hours.  

I thought the previous attempts may have been slow because I was
multiplexing, so yesterday I stopped all of the multiplexing and am still
having the same problem.  Any ideas why it would be taking so long?

Block size is 1000, NetBackup 3.4, OS is Tru64 v5.1.  Fiber connected to a
Compaq ESL9198 Library with 4 DLT drives.  Traffic on the Fiber Switch
appears small, but I don't no how to get the exact throughput numbers.
Another dup of about 75M completed within 5 minutes.
