New question #142036 on Simple Backup: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/142036
I currently have a sbackup backup session running, however the throughput is (much) lower than I expect. gzip is running at only ~20% CPU usage, suggesting that there is a bottlenect in datatransfer somewhere. My local disk can do up to 40MB/s throughput, but iotop reports ~1500KB/s for tar. top reports no io wait, but ~75% idle. Network monitor also reports datat about 1500KB/s. I'm writing to a remote server through a 1G ethernet connection, which should easily accomodate 40MB/s (scp indeed reports ~40MB data rate). On the remote server there is negilble CPU usage (~5%, of which ~2% by sshd). If I use plain cp to the .gvfs directory that connects to the backup server, it transfers about 25MB in about 10 seconds, roughly consistent with the ~1.5MB/s iotop reports for sbackup. Any ideas on why sbackup is so much slower than my hardware and network could support? Is it likely that gvfs is somehow at fault, and if so is it worthwile (cost vs. gain) to fix this? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is an answer contact for Simple Backup. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
