Did you do testing on the local machine only ( i.e. do tests from one folder to another)? Doing comparisons on the older server and then the new server should show you if its just the server to blaim. If that proves solid, then I would look at network stuff. Maybe use a different NIC, etc.

Probably something above 5. Yeah, please give it a 8 ... maybe then make it a --terminal-verbosity 8 rather than -v8 so that you don't let the backup-log in the target explode ... ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org
