Does anyone know the system internals well enough to know what might cause the first system backup after an IPL to run longer? We IPL weekly (lets not get into a discussion of this being necessary) and we have a backup script that runs one series of saves Monday night through Friday night and a compressed one on Sat and Sun (we are not open weekends). Sunday we IPL. Every monday night the backup takes 4 hours, tuesday-friday it's 3 1/2 hours. I know some database stats get cleared on an IPL. Could this be causing longer backups?
