I've got a user running Win7-64 with 3 large drives: C (original boot), D (data), and G (Win7 boot). I've configured rsyncd on it to serve them as 3 modules named for the drive letters. A "full" backup to my CentOS 5 box takes about 40 hours, and an "incremental" takes about 8, so I've configured his system to only back up on weekends. But even then, he often works weekends and will reboot his machine because it's running slow from the backup load, killing the backup.
What can I do to optimize the backup to reduce the time taken so it's more likely to run to completion? I was thinking I could reconfigure it to be three hosts with one drive each, so that there's more chance of running to completion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
