Hi, You might want to try gzip --rsyncable instead of ZIP and see whether it makes a difference. Because of the file splitting etc. I'd add a .md5 checksum file, just to be sure. Also, there is a tool which name I cannot remember which allows you to split a file and generate an additional error-correction file, so you get a bit of redundancy and chances are higher to reconstruct the archive, even if a part is lost. Disabling compression in BackupPC for these hosts might speed things up since the files cannot be compressed anyway. Tino. Thanks Tino - the tool we use to split the file does do md5 checksums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
