Re: How long to FTP a SAVF

What I meant was that the most amount of time spent on a lot of backups 
(except for very large files) is in the housekeeping part.  Preparing 
objects to be saved (checking authority to objects, checking for and 
obtaining object locks), updating last saved date/times in the objects, 
releasing the locks afterwards, etc. 
The checking, obtaining & releasing of locks is avoided when saving with 
the system in a restricted state. 
Comparing the time to transfer the backup file, once created, with the 
time it took to create the savefile in the first place, is what I meant by 
comparing apples to oranges.
Still, agreed - it does sound like Leo has some sort of network problem 
causing the extremely slow transfer speed.

I didn't specify DTACPR(*YES), so compression wasn't an issue.  I don't
see why the backup should be "the hard part"??

At any rate -- the point of my message was that FTP from V3R2 to V4R5 is
not slow.  He must have a network problem to contend with.
