I've found that for my data (local backup to different disk), rdiff-backup spends a lot of its time dealing with deleted (or renamed -- though I understand the limitation there) files. I switched to --no-compression, since space is not a major issue, and it got somewhat faster, but it still spends a lot of time copying files from the mirror into increments snapshot before deleting the mirror.
Would it be possible to make it rename the file in this case, instead? It looks like might be possible to have increment.makesnapshot detect this case, but someone who's more familiar with the code would probably have a better idea. (Note that I haven't tried the development version, only glanced at the changes, so if this is already supported somewhere that'd be great to know.) _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
