[BackupPC-users] CPU usage and low network usage

[jmyers]

I was hoping to find out if anyone else has seen this situation:

I have a dual core AMD Athlon 64 processor and when backups are taking place the processor usage generally sits at 100% on both cores (When multiple machines are being backed up), if not at 100% then generally very close to it....

At the same time, 3 hosts being backed up, two of which have gigabit links to the backuppc, and the other with a 100Mbit connect, and on the backuppc I am seeing a maximum network throughput of 13MB/s, but generally I'm getting 4mb/s sometimes as little at 300bps.... when all three hosts are being backed up[... this seems AWFLY slow..

I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, backing up via Rsyncd, all hosts being backed up are windows using Cygwin-RsyncD, all machines have 2GB memory and very fast cpu.... Memory usage on all the machines involved is not excessive, infact it's relatively low....

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks for your help
