I find in my setup the Macs are backed up very slowly compared to the other Linux systems. It's so bad that there must be something I can change. I'm using rsync over ssh all around.
Incremantals of MacBooks Pro take 4-6 hours, compared to 20 minutes to 1 hour for the Linux systems, everything over 100 Mbit. The Macs for sure don't have more data or more files, static or dynamic than the Linux systems; quite a lot less in most cases. It can take a whole hour between the time the connection is made to the client, until the first directory is actually created on the server backup store. I'm puzzled by this.
