I need to really speed up my backup of Linux boxes/directories !!!
I'm using ssh/rsync to do Linux backups. As an example (see end for
more details):
* a backup of a 22.6GB Linux directory is taking 2037 minutes (34
hours = 1.4 days).
* a backup of a 131.4GB WinXP directory is taking 1245 minutes (21
hours = 0.87 days).
I thought rsync is supposed to be more efficient than a raw copy, but
obviously not. I'm presuming it is rsync that is issue here.
Would rsyncd improve the speed?
Maybe it would be faster with nfs/tar but I'm a little concerned about
security ?
How can I get my Linux backups to be at least as fast as the Windows
backups.
Thanks heaps,
Brendan.
