I wouldn't expect any difference by adding more bandwidth than you were already filling. The real work here is that the --ignore-times option that is hard-coded into the full runs causes the target to have to read all the files and without checksum caching, the server does too. And regardless of what benchmarks might tell you about disks, if anything else wants the disk head to be somewhere else, this is going to be slow. Backups will almost always thresh any disk buffer/cache that might make other types of access seem faster. However, I just run into a situation in an rsync restore where both ends were sitting in a select() apparently waiting for each other for so long I gave up and used a tar download. Maybe there is a bug somewhere. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
