Hi list,

We've got some backup targets with lots (and lots, and then some) of files. There's so much of them that making back-ups is becoming a problem.

During the backup process, tar(1) is eating up a CPU core. There's no or hardly no I/O wait to be seen. Very likely tar is single threaded so there's that. The additional gzip(1) process is doing zero to nothing.

Any thoughts on speeding this up? Maybe an alternative for GNU tar, or...?

Thanks all!

Cheers,
Kees
