something is fishy about your compression %. you should definitely get more compression. in the config file, what type of compression are you using? you should see much great compression ratios and you should see some staggering compression times with the level 8 and 9 compression levels.

yes! i have noticed that the compression does hit performance a lot. I have a windows2003 server that im backing up to an ubuntu backuppc server accross gigabit using rsyncd. I notice that the transfer rate with compression turned on is not much more than that of 100Mb ethernet(maybe 12Mb/s or

Hi there.. I just did my first big backup with backuppc and to be honest the results were alittle dissapointing.. It's taken 6 hours now at approximately 80% CPU to back up my 70Gb photo archive.  Does this sound about right?  My entire system is around 240Gb.. at this point I doubt I could do it

Interesting point you make about rsyncd vs. smb transfer rates. I would have never guessed smb to be better at anything. I'm still going rsyncd on everything, since it's better at dealing with in-use files, etc. It just seems rsyncd is all around more robust. It would be nice if the

actually, i would consider it some level of bug that SMB can beat rsync in certain tasks in backuppc. In reality, the only point at which rsync would be any slower than SMB would be during the initial scan for changed files, which SMB wouldnt be doing and would rely on the program that is doing
