I have a new machine with 32 gig of memory running Fedora (now upgraded to Fedora 23 from 22) and I decided to try BackupPC 4.0.0.alpha3 on it. It has been working fine for a couple of weeks, as far as I can tell, but today I had to do a backup of a laptop (also running Fedora 23) while I was working on the backup server, and I noticed tremendous lags. top says that rsync_bpc is using 95% of memory and free says:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 32854592 32237588 172360 120776 444644 339248
Swap: 67108860 22412576 44696284
There are actually two rsync_bpc processes running, one that's using all
that memory and the other using hardly any. Firefox is next in the memory
listing in top, using .6% of memory.
Is this reasonable for rsync_bpc? If so, is there a way to limit the
memory used by rsync_bpc? And if it's not reasonable, what should I be
checking? I've used BackupPC for a long time, but this is my first
experimentation with 4.0.
Thanks,
George
