Well, restoring from backup is incredibly slow.
I'd love to get suggestions from any computer systems gurus out there.


Basically, this is harddisk to harddisk copy, and
each disk benchmarks with hdparm -tT at 50MB/s
or higher. Using "cp -prdf" of the files (zillions of small HTML files) I am seeing a throughput of about
0.5 MB/s. Given that a day only has ~84 thousand seconds,
I have lots of time for suggestions.

Is it a Linux server? You would probably get good answers from the linux-kernel mailing list if you described the situation (including what's on the disk, to give them an extra reason to care). - Dan
