Question #116342 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/116342
Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Hello, do backups work for you again? You've written 'the first incremental backup this morning'; how long take the backups now? I guess you are seeing a problematic behavior of tar here: in tests I did on my machine I've seen similar things. Tar is creating the incremental snapshot file (snar file) when using 100% cpu and the files.tar.* file does not increase in size meanwhile. On my machine I experienced 2 hours of preparation followed by 1 hour of data transfer. I don't know exactly what's causing this exactly but I think it is quite undesirable. IMO tar's incremental backup feature has some serious drawbacks. HTH.
