Hi guys, I am using BackupPC now for years and it was always running perfectly. Around 25 hosts; /var/lib/BackupPC is around 2TB).
Currently I am having an issue with one of my remote hosts. I even created a new instance of BackupPC to test and see what happens- but it is the same! The remote host has two share to be backed up. / with around 4GB of data and /srv with 27GB of data. The connection is now a 5Mbit/s (uplink) leased line with fixed IP (connected through OpenVPN to the BackuPC host). The backup takes ages! When calculating with a 5Mbit/s linke 27GB should be transferred within ~15hours. Here, the initial full backup is not yet done and is already running more than 24hours! I can see some sort of progress if I do a "lsof| grep rsync" on the client. But it still appears to be ways to slow! On the client "top" tells me 99% idle CPU (and no I/O waits). The NIC and the Internet connection has an outbound usage of around 350kb/s- far away from the 5Mbit/s the line offers. And yes, there is no other outbound traffic going on. I just did a Ms-RDP session and the line usage goes up to the expected 2.5Mbit/s! Do you have a clue why it takes to transfer? It does not seem to be linkes to a new full or incr backup- my existing backup server was not able to back up the machine now for 120days! Even though it tells me 24/7 "backup in progress". So, any idea why this performs so badly?
