Hi John,
I'm having the identical issue, moved from pure rsync which wasnt causing a
problem before that I could see.
Also with large database files (12GB). Strangely enough, If I clear the
backup manually and then set it to full it backs up in 47 minutes flat,
otherwise it could sit for days. Not sure what I should try? I could pre
script it to remove the files before every backup but I it would be a
shortcut and not resolving the problem.
Kind Regards
