         Hi all...I'm having a conceptual problem I can't get around and
    was hoping someone can change my focus here. I've been backing up
    roughly 6-8 million small files (roughly 2-4k each) using dump, but
    restores take forever due to the huge number of files and directories.
     Luckily, I haven't had to restore for an emergency yet...but if I
    need to, I'm kinda stuck. I've looked at distributed file systems
    like CODA, but the number of files I have to deal with will make it
    choke. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I've pondered running
    rsync, but am very worried about how long that will take...

    Thanks,
    --Brian
