too many files

I have a filesystem that contains 900,000+ files in one directory. I ran
the following command to copy files to another host and it ran for couple
days and stops. Event just run the find command would take a long time.

find /indirectory -print | backup -iqf- | compress -c | rsh remotehost
"(uncompress -c | restore -xf- )"

Do you know any other command that can speed up the copy? we try to backup
to tape and restore and that also take days.

Joseph
