Are you sure for --inplace ? Is that upload will be there not bigger? *--inplace* This option changes how rsync transfers a file when its data needs to be updated: instead of the default method of creating a new copy of the file and moving it into place when it is complete, rsync instead writes

Well it might not be faster for BackupPC, that's for sure. I've gone ahead and removed that part of it. +-- |This was sent by saturn2...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com.

It's disk write speed which has always plagued rsync in my opinion. Normally nearly none of my Gigabit network bandwidth is in use. I've even changed out all the CAT5 and CAT5e cables to CAT6 to no avail so it's definitely disk performance. As it stated though, it might actually make

Oh darn, you guys are right. I'm using the forums so it's different. Let's see, we're allowed to add the --checksum-seed option so I think that option either does nothing then or that it does work and the perl rsync.pm file is able to accommodate more rsync functions than those noted there.

I would do successive incrementals, but only if the same exact files aren't changing each time. For instance, successive incrementals do not benefit you if files X changed today, and it changes tomorrow, and it changes the next day only if file X is the file that chances the most. If file X

Your method is fine. I don't think it will be fast enough though. 5GB of daily changes you said? You don't wanna do those all at once. My recommendation is first, limit BackupPC to backing up a maximum of one host at a time. Second, spread out the backups into multiple hosts. Instead of them

Hello, I require your opinion about my method. I want to backup 500 GB of data from another company. Approximately 5 GB of data are changed daily. We have a VPN 2Mbit/s (approximately 200 KB/s) between the two companies. I have a computer (50GB, 256MBytes RAM) and an Ethernet hard disk (1 TB). I
