What about when there is no prior file? I have explictly deleted the original file from the prior backup and I still get an RStmp file. Is it just filled with zeros or something? I agree with Tony that the new file is created very slowly. I have 14GB of the 38GB file transfrerred and the latest backup attempt has been running since: 2009-02-12 19:58 so that is very slow indeed. Is there some data I can get to try to figure out where the bottleneck is? Since Tony said he sees the same issues using --whole-file I guess that won't solve my problem either. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard System Administrator Renesys Corporation 603-244-9084 (cell) 603-643-9300 x 111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
