Hi again backuppc-ers! I've got a bit of a fishy situation.
I have a workstations here, which is an ubuntu breezy machine. It is currently set to be backed up via ssh/rsync. Network is 100MB on two sixteen port switches. The full backup took 582 minutes, 443,888 files of 11,477 MB. The incremental took 631 minutes, 12,082 files of 187 MB. The backuppc server (2.1.1) is a dedicated machine. Nothing running there except for backuppc. Nothing was going on in the network at the time of either backup. The workstation was idle for both backup attempts. There were two backups running during the full backup, only one going on during the incremental. It took three tries to get the incremental done. The first two failed with SIG=Alarm. I increased the timeout for this workstation by an order of magnitude, and was finally able to get an incremental finished. rsync on both machines is version 2.6.5, protocol level 29. I've got a number of other breezy machines and I don't have any problems with them. Generally, the incremental backup takes around 15-25% the time of a full backup. Is there any way to 'see inside' the backuppc/rsync job to see where the time is going? Why would the incremental take *longer* than a full? Thank you.
