So you're convinced the speed bottleneck is firmly on the filesystem/disk array? I've noticed that changing the SSH cipher helps substantially sometimes; but sometimes (often?) not much. It's a worthwhile optimization when it works tho. I think I've seen 10-15% improvement in backup times. As for your link issues; the suggestion that it may be a keepalive problem reminded me of this tool: http://freshmeat.net/projects/openssh-watchdog It may be worth trying that. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
