I've run into numerous cases where rdiff-backup just doesn't perform well, especially over a network. For example, doing a restore I'm doing good to see 800kB/s (according to Activity Monitor in OS X), while an scp of the same file will do 2+ MB/s.
Reverting a failed backup is also very slow. As is listing the size of increments. > # time rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir /mnt/backup/ibookbackups/ > > real 163m44.025s > user 127m25.820s > sys 18m1.866s > > As you can see this took 2 hours and 40 minutes just to fix (?) the local > backup directory.
