Also note that is idle percentage is just about 0%, which means that he is limited by the speed of his backuppc server. To reduce the iowait time, you need faster disks. What kind of disks do you have your backuppc data pool on? For backuppc, the faster the seek time the better, so 15k RPM disks in a RAID 10 setup (the more spindles the better) would reduce that number. The system time seems pretty high to me (on my systems system time is about 1/3-1/5th of user time during backups), what filesystem are you using? -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
