Package: obnam Version: 1.18.2-1 Severity: normal I'm using Obnam to create a full backup of my ${HOME} to a local disk attached via USB3. During this obnam seems to create checkpoints quite often, so that just that seems to take half of the time:
12h19m13s Backing up: found 141447 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB making checkpoint: re-opening repository 12h19m45s Backing up: found 141447 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB making checkpoint: continuing backup 12h20m14s Backing up: found 141447 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB making checkpoint: adding chunks to shared chunk indexes 12h20m22s Backing up: found 141447 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB making checkpoint: re-opening repository 12h21m11s Backing up: found 141447 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB 12h21m29s Backing up: found 141450 files, 1.05 TiB; uploaded: 1.03 TiB making checkpoint: committing per-client data The "re-opening repository" step takes around 30s after which 30s writing data follows, then the next checkpoint happens.
