I have a job that runs every Saturday morning on one of our Servers. It job is to backup all of our vobs. The job is getting longer and longer My question to you: the tar cz command, (or tar gzip combo), in your experience, is it more I/O bound or CPU bound, or both? My guess is that it is I/O bound. -- Happy Trails!
