dd using Digital Unix Tru64

Hi I am posting this in this area because I couldn't find a better place.
I am trying to make exact copies of my disk that I use in an old DEC3000.
I loaded the one disk then used dd
dd if=/dev/rrz0c of=/dev/rrz1c
I started this a 6pm last night here in Wales.
It is now 2pm the next day, that is approximately 20 hours.
This is an 18.2 GB scsi hard drive.
How long do you figure it will take to complete?
Is there an easier way or at least faster?
I was talking to one of my colleagues an he said oh it probably will transfer at 5MB a minute......that's about 1 day...is this right or is it longer?
The read/write led is on with both drives.
Seems to be working.
I used dd with an Ultra5 and ide disks using solaris and it only took about 4 hours.
Thanks for any help
