Hi Eric! First of all, thank you for all the work you put into rdiff-backup! I love this tool! Last time you wrote an email about lack of reviewers, I took a look at the PRs, but couldn't decide anything about them as I lack knowledge of the implementation. I "watch" the repo now and try

Thank you for the quick response! The current backup runs since 6h and it only uses around 1-2% of the CPU. There is also no gzip process running. So it might be something else... - Jonas On 6/1/21 3:15 PM, Reio Remma wrote: > On 01.06.2021 16:12, Jonas Schöpf wrote: >> Hi all! >
