Ive seen weird things from time to time such as dead slow install when the depot was on nfs...
Tha make me wonder if you have enough room, try to fbackup to a file locally then mv it to your nfs FS, and tell us if it makes a difference ( I believe so...)

I wish I could test that, but unfortunately I can't. I dont have the space for a 9GB file. This system is an old K-Class (K-200).

1) man renice - For this case you would have to be root...
2) ps -ef|grep fbackup to get the procID
3) choose a decent value and try...
Dont forget to use timex to have some timings...

Thinking of it if you are using fbackup its to overcome the 2 GB file limitation I suppose,
Could you not consider like I had the case with oracle exports, to split the backups in 5-6 <2GB files?
You could then use pax which is really good when you dont have backup software and its not proprietary...
Then you could even ( but with a K200 - not more than 2!!) launch in parallel 2 backups,
Im sure that would reduce the time...

What OS is it ? 10.20?

I'm runnung version B.11

I'm not very familiar with HPUX, so you'll have to explain more about PAX...
