Fastest way to backup 300MB

[Ray Smith]

I have a situation where I need to be able to backup 300MB of data
in less than 30 minutes. This will probably be done on a Sun system.

My question is, what would be the fastest way of doing this?

	- Copy all of the files to a removable drive?
	- Dump to tape?
		- Which format (tar, dump, cpio, tpio)?
		- What kind of blocking factors?
		- Which tape drives and controllers are fastest?
		- Should we use an Exabyte(sp) drive?
	- Remote dump over Ethernet?(nah)

Anyone have any thoughts on these questions?

Thanks,
Ray
