The run I started on Friday still hasn't completed and since backuppc has run
nightly it is picking up new files in the pc directory that weren't in the pool
when it started - so the size is larger than I expected and it isn't going to
fit.
Top shows fairly reasonable memory use, though.

It probably would be a lot faster if it didn't display the filenames being
copied.
