I've been reading a lot. Apparently Rsync over Cygwin or anything using those DLLs hangs. I haven't yet felt like upgrading my memory for money reasons, but
I'm wondering if I should include the -W or --whole-file into the Rsync options for backups. From what I read online, a lot of Windows server + Rsync issues were occuring with hangs so I tried to change my list to exclude junction points and other things like it. So far, things seem to be moving as they used to, but certain machines are still taking a long time, in fact, longer than before. I had a machine which was taking 2 hours now taking 20, haha. It seems like the more I do to fix it, the worse it gets. I hope that checksum thing eventually does help. I can confirm some things work properly. I did a full back up over 100GB of files yesterday, none of these operating system files, and was surprised to see it take 5 hours to do. The good thing is, when it did the incremental today, it only took 15 minutes. 15 minutes for an incremental backup of 100GB of unchanged files from a Windows machine seems decent enough. Then I looked closer. While it says it backed up 0MB of 0 files total were backed up, 53 files show up as backed up existing already and 381 new files. Please look at http://badmarkup.com/backuppc/majin.png to see what I'm talking about. How is this possible? Is it a bug in BackupPC? Would it explain the issues I'm having? I'd still have to say backing up these files was notably faster than backing up 20GB of a C: drive with only the OS and some programs installed so I dunno what to expect here. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by saturn2...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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/
