Backup speeds

Introduction
The following table provides a summary description of the backup types and
speeds:
Backup type
Database backup Backs up all
Full backup
Note: Full

a third-party
backup utility.
RAID drive
backup
Notes:
To help calculate the speed of database backups before an upgrade (to tape
or a remote directory), it is a good idea to perform a trial run of the backup
at least several days before the upgrade. Keep in mind that the time required
to do a database backup can vary between the trial run and the actual
backup day due to several factors.
For a listing of the variables that can affect the speed of your backup and
restore, see "Variables affecting backup and restore speed" on page 1000.
