Hi guys! I'm also using flexbackup on multiple servers! Is seems very
fine, especially I like differential backups.
But I not use bzip compression, just a simple tar.
$type = 'tar';
There are no issues with it.
Also you could try to switch to tar type of backups, and then do a gzip
by other script.
Some example of script backuping my sql databases:
echo "Compressing backups..."
for i in `ls ${backupsdir}/*.sql`; do
cd ${backupsdir} && nice -n 19 tar -czv --remove-files
-f ${i}.tar.gz `basename ${i}`
done
# cleaning up old data
find $backupsdir -name "$host*" -a -mtime +$savedays -delete
Also keep in mind that if you have a very lage tar backup bzip will
compress it a very long type too.
So I don't use compression for this reasons. I just need fast and simple
backups.
