I'm a first time user of rdiff-backup and just went by the early documentation far as cmds go... to run an experiment.
I used the format: rdiff-backup [email protected]::/remote-dir local-dir remotehost was winXP localhost was Opensolaris (zfs filesystem) Ended up copying 23 GB... but the nasty thing is, it took a whopping 6+ hrs... from the session-stats log: ElapsedTime 21751.67 (6 hours 2 minutes 31.67 seconds) I'm pretty sure this is not the expected outcome. In the session error log I see only error messages indicating certain files were busy. Full session stats are printed at the end... but what is likely to cause such a massive amount of time to rdiff-backup a relatively small amount of data? ======================================= session-statistics: StartTime 1247124026.00 (Thu Jul 9 02:20:26 2009) EndTime 1247145777.67 (Thu Jul 9 08:22:57 2009) ElapsedTime 21751.67 (6 hours 2 minutes 31.67 seconds) SourceFiles 183611 SourceFileSize 32252284604 (30.0 GB) MirrorFiles 1 MirrorFileSize 0 (0 bytes) NewFiles 183610 NewFileSize 32252284604 (30.0 GB) DeletedFiles 0 DeletedFileSize 0 (0 bytes) ChangedFiles 1 ChangedSourceSize 0 (0 bytes) ChangedMirrorSize 0 (0 bytes) IncrementFiles 0 IncrementFileSize 0 (0 bytes) TotalDestinationSizeChange 32252284604 (30.0 GB) Errors 24 _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
