I just installed BackupPC v4 on a CentOS 7 server with 4G ram.  I am
trying to back up a local 318G filesystem.  I am using rsyncd over the
loopback connection.  It has been running for 17 hours so far and has
backed up less than half of the directory (based on the size of the
backup filesystem).  Running top does not show any excessive cpu or
iowait.  "free" shows no swap usage and 1.5G available memory.

Is it normal for the backup to take this long?

Is there a better way to back up a local filesystem?
