import will usually take significantly longer then an export, because with
an import it's constantly opening database indexes and creating rows. Plus
the tape drive maybe a huge bottleneck as well as the disk attributes of

To recover a destroyed volume, delete it from the server's inventory with a
"discard=yes" and what will happen is the next time your backup storage
