vdump with millions of files?

| I have a collection over around 3 million files occupying some 70GB,
does anyone have experience with running vdump/vrestore across file sets
of this size? I guess I want to know if it will cope at all and if so,
what sort of performance can I expect?

I used to run a system that had about half a milion files in 18gb, and
vdump did just fine. Since you're only about 6x that, I'd guess you'll
be ok. This was on a little Alpha 1200 running 4.0d. Mylex raid
controller for disk, advfs, dumping to DLT 70gb tape drive. I had a
bunch of web-based security cameras constantly sending jpg snapshots via
ftp. The box filed them into a day/hour/ID+time directory structure,
which got backed up nightly.
