Is there a way to restart the backup until it is finished? Now all backup stops and are discarded each time the ssh tunnel are broken and the backup will never be finished. Interrupted full runs should result in a 'partial' backup that is used by rsync to continue on the next attempt. However, because fulls do a read and checksum comparison on all data, continuing can still be a slow process even though it doesn't use the bandwidth to send matching data again. I don't think there is much you can do to improve that. Enabling compression on the ssh connection might help get more data across while the connection stays up. Turning on keep-alives in ssh might help if some equipment in the connection path is dropping the link due to idle time. You might use standard rsync to make a local snapshot copy of the target, restarting as needed, then let backuppc copy that to keep a history. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell < at > gmail.com " Thanks. Do I understand you correctly that you mean that I should copy the files to the backup server using rsync until everything is ready, and then point to the katalogeln with backuppc? Would it not be hard to recover the files to the client throug the web interface?
