Subject: tar czf xxx question
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.
