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
