IBM Slow listing of LTo5 tape contents

Hi,

We are taking our filesystem backup having size of 1.3 TB on LTO5 catridges using the following command

find * -print|backup -ivf '/dev/rmt0' '-U'

i.e backup byname and it took about 6.5 Hours to complete When we are listing same tape contents using the following command

restore -lTf '/dev/rmt0'

then it took almost the same time to list the contents in which backup was completed. Is there any way to fasten the tape content listing? Any help any idea would be highly appreciated.
Smilie
Thanks
