How much of this data are you trying to send direct to tape? That's what it looks like your includes are trying to do, and that will obviously be slower that going to disk. Are you ftp'ing to disk but backing up to tape?
I think, to get all the objects (files and folders) in sys: and extravol1: to your tape mgmt class you need the following: include sys:*.* tape9940 include sys:* tape9940 include sys:\...\* tape9940 include sys:\...\*.* tape9940 and the same construct for the extravol1 "Firmes, Stephen" wrote: > I made the tcpip performance changes to the dsm.opt and I am still getting slow >transfer times.
