    I have a filesystem that contains 900,000+ files in one directory. I ran
    the following command to copy files to another host and it ran for couple
    days and stops. Event just run the find command would take a long time.

    find /indirectory -print | backup -iqf- | compress -c | rsh remotehost
    "(uncompress -c | restore -xf- )"

    Do you know any other command that can speed up the copy? we try to backup
    to tape and restore and that also take days.
