I started the first backup to an empty directory on a second server. I'm wandering about the low speed of ca. 1.6MB/s
Both servers are DL380 with dual PIII 833MHz running debian, python2.3, librsync 0.9.7-1 and rdiff-backup 1.0.0-0.cvs20050819 (thanks to Dean Gaudet for the debian package). They are directly connected by gigabit. I started rdiff-backup this way: rdiff-backup -v5 --terminal-verbosity=4 --ssh-no-compression /mnt/files/ 192.168.0.1::/mnt/raid/backup/fileserver2/ Everything looks fine: CPU-usage on the source-server is ca.15% for ssh and ca. 6% for rdiff-backup CPU-usage on the destination is ca. 18% for sshd and ca. 12% for rdiff-backup No swap-space is used. rdiff-backup needs 132s to transfer a 140MB file (1.1MB/s). While rdiff-backup works on the next file scp transfers the same file in 15s (9.3MB/s)! Since we want to backup one tera-byte of data this would last more than a week. Has anyone hints how to speedup rdiff-backup?
