Hi all, I see incremental backup times in the 300-400 minutes range every day on this particular machine. A full backup is about 28 GB and each daily incremental backup is in the 150-250 MB range. The incrementals take like forever (well, about 6-7 hrs each).
Is there *anything* I can do to tweak the backup-speed of BPC in order to
speed up a backup from this machine that contains hundreds of thousands of
small files? Maybe something on the other machine?
BPC's sitting on a server running CentOS 5.9 and has a 4x harddrive raid0 (2
TB) with ext3. Regular rsync is used. The network is a 100 MBps-type. Noadir
and noatime is also set on the raid-array. Also in BPC I set
"--checksum-seed=32761", after reading some hints on this.
The backupee is a two-drive computer with instrument-data on the secondary
drive running RHEL4.3. The SATA used should be fast enough I imagine.
The BPC server is by now rather ancient, but still usable for casual
instrument-data backups.
Thanks in advance for any insights on this.
