Only about 2 milion files. user@BPC-client ~/ [0]# find /home | wc -l 1883781 And the test incremental backup took 118.5 min's for 61 MB. Somewhat better I guess after the noa* tweaks. I'm inclined to believe that the bootle-neck is, as Markus points out, that the client maybe isn't to top-notch and the sheer number of files to be checked. I'll leave this issue as somewhat solved and maybe wait for BPC to implement a more modern rsync-strategi as mention in the archived thread above. Thanks everybody! -- /Sorin
