Are you using rsync -H, to preserve hard links? You may find it unbearably memory/time/resource intensive to use rsync for this.
Since you are using lvm (assuming you have some unused space), you could create a snapshot (lvcreate -s) and then dump the raw block device over ssh (or nc). (dd if=/dev/lvm_vg/snapshot |gzip -1c |ssh remote_host zcat | dd of=/dev/lvm_vg/backuppc_mirror). On a really slow link bzip2 might be worth the cpu time, although since the pool is already compresses you really just want to compress the empty space on the volume (you may want to fill extra space with zeros brien krystian wrote: > Hi! > I have a small problem. > My backuppc machine works without problem.
