Advice on copying large files

Hi all,

We do an Oracle cold backup where we shutdown the database and then copy
a bunch of large database files (140 X ~5gb each) from multiple file
systems into one large file system that we back up to tape after the
database is back up. Doing this directly to tape takes way too long. I'm
looking to see what you all think is the best tool/solution (cpio, tar,
ufsdump etc.) to copy these files from within a script and hopefully
somewhat in parallel to speed things up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
