I would not expect RAID5 to be a problem during backup, unless there is a lot of write activity to the drives during that time.
Arrr!! Belay that! Somehow I was under the impression that the read media was RAID5, though the email clearly stated you are backing up *to* RAID5. Yes, that may be somewhat slower than RAID0, RAID1, RAID10 and even JBOD. Look on the bright side - if it were RAID6 it would be even slower. -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
