There is quite a bit of overhead on the server side when you are doing a full rsync backup because it does block-checksum compares against existing files and has to uncompress for this calculation. (Craig - if you are listening, are these cached or recomputed every run)? Incrementals should go much faster than other methods, though, because files with matching timestamps and files should be skipped. Maybe you just need to force a full on different servers each night to get your full runs out of sync with each other. Or force some to run on weekends when it won't matter if it runs into the next day. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
