Hi, Well, yes maybe someone else can comment. I think, the key is determining the bottleneck. I am surprised by the mem usage, but it could also be the hdd. Maybe someone can comment on the benchmarks I sent. Currently the backup is running for nearly 4 hours now. But admittedly I have a lot of new data on the machine.
Could you give me a hint, how I can check, what process is using the Mem? Ps -aux doesn't do the trick, as some processes have multiple appearances there...

My backup host uses the double amount of RAM but I don't see a reason why only 512 mb should be such a performance killer. > I'd rather not switch to SMB, yet.

Sorry, I don't think that I can give you a useful hint for a solution, maybe another list user can help you with this topic.
