Backing up the sparse file (1.2TB in size (64K actual size)), with the spase otion enabled for the file, still takes about 2.5 hours to backup. Does this sound correct? That is an improvement on the 7 hours without sparse enabled, but I would have guessed that backing up a sparse file whose actual file size is 64K would only take a matter of seconds. Here is the new FileSet with the sparse option enabled: FileSet { Name = "Firewall Full" Include { Options { signature = MD5 sparse = yes compression = GZIP } File = /var/log/lastlog } Include { Options { compression = GZIP signature = MD5 wildfile = "/var/log/lastlog" wildfile = "/.journal" wildfile = "/.fsck" wilddir = /proc wilddir = /tmp wilddir = /sys wilddir = /dev wilddir = /mnt wilddir = /BACKUPS wilddir = /var/spool/squid Exclude = yes } File = / File = /boot File = /home File = /var } } I could probably remove /wildir = /BACKUPS as /BACKUPS is its own filesystem, but I included it for readability. If this is still not the correct way to handle the sparse file, please let me know. Thanks. Scott ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
