Thanks for all the responses :-) I did a "dump 0af /dev/null /usr": DUMP: Average transfer rate: 10618 KB/s
Next I did a "dump 0af /backup/test1 /usr": DUMP: Average transfer rate: 5352 KB/s I also compared the speed of cp with dump and they seem equally fast. Anyway, it seems like the speed is not so abnormally low after all. Kind regards, Tom
