Back when I was using Cygwin I found the performance of tar runing under cygwin was very poor. I attributed it (without evidence) to the need to translate all those unix style semantics (inodes, ...) to NTFS and back for each and every file. My backup of about 15GB of data on 4 partitions took 3 - 4 hours. Yes, dtimeout is the parameter. Unless the problem is during estimates and sometimes you get no schedule from planner (I got that too). Then it is etimeout. -- Jon H.
