I currently use BackupPC to backup 34 servers (two different backup servers). We have this one development machine that takes more than a day to backup (2100 minutes for 139 gigs on full backup). We have other servers with the same amount of data (some with more) that backup much faster. We believe the reason for this is that there are many CVS checkouts which contain the same files.
Our theory is that it is taking this long due to comparison of all the identical files when making links. The hardware in this server matches another machine with the same amount of data, but it only takes around 300-400 minutes. I'm wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem and might have suggestions. I'm going to look and see if I can skip backing up some of the data, but at this point I'm not sure if that is an option. -Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
