Sensitivity:

I just upgraded our HMC from 7.3.2 to 7.3.4 (with MH01152) - very smoothe
and farely quick process.

I did backups before to DVD-RAM and it took more than 1 hour.
I did a backup after to DVD-RAM and it took about two minutes.
These were the full HMC backups, not just the upgrade backup.

I am all for picking up the pace, just want to make sure I am not taking
speed and ignoring a problem. The boot process of the HMC seemed much
faster as well.

Anyone else experience such a thing? Should I be concerned or any way to
test and make sure the backup worked? The dialog box did say it was doing
the integrity checking.

Thanks.
Dave
