Hi all, First off, just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me with my Aborted by signal ALRM problem when backing up huge dirs, especially Jason and Holger. Using the Exclude dirs parameter worked beautifully, and I just re-ran the full backup every day for about a week, gradually excluding less and less and it finally completed and has been working well since.
The question I have is this. I'm in the process of doing this for the second server, which is 140GB in many thousands of files, and doing a full backup actually takes quite a while just to generate all the hardlinks before it even gets to transferring data. What constrains the speed at which these hardlinks are created - the backuppc server's CPU, the client's CPU (for rsync checksums), the disk speed (running ext3 / raid5 on 5 drives), or what else could it be? Thanks very much. -J ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
