Huuuuu?????
I took a look @ the restore listing, and it contains...
my Debian mirror!! (30GB)
Now I understand why it took so long!
HOWEVER, all machines have the same file structure (and the same
BackupPC config file, as there's only one of them; other are just
symlinks toward it).
There's a /NFS on every machine, which mounts 2 NFS raid-5 arrays.
*of course* '/NFS' is exclued from the backup.
Why does BackupPC backup it only on this machine ??????

Hi list,
I now use BackupPc for more than a year without any problem;
however, I installed a new machine (4 GB to backup) and even
if BackupPC gives me the same readings (Full = 4.1GB), it
takes hours to backup.
I've got another machine with 13 GB to backup, and it takes
less than 90 min., this one is working now for... 4 hours!
I made an iptraf, and saw that the amount of full backup
should have been tranfered in about 15 min.
I suspect a circular symlink reference; can you tell me how
to find it? (and where does it come from?)
Most backup methods should copy symlinks as symlinks, not
follow them. You can look through the Xferlog to see
what actually was copied. I like to add --one-file-system
to the rsync and tar commands to avoid accidentally
walking into CD or nfs mounts, but then you have to be
very careful to include each filesystem you want.
At least make sure you have excluded /proc, and if you
have a 64 bit system /var/log/lastlog may be a huge
sparse file that you don't really need in a backup.
