Hi Rick,
we routinely handle massive amounts of files and data. Rdiff starts the
backup at the begining and doesn't hold the list of files and metadata
in memory like rsync, so it doesn't suffer from that problem as much.
a 200Gb backup job is fine. I have a few 900Gb jobs that work ok as
well. Bandwidth and disk i/o are the problems mostly

Hi list,
I would like to know wether rdiff-backup will come to grief on large
systems.
I have a couple of machines with around 200 Gb on each, and are
concerned wether rdiff-backup would deal with "Too Many Files" does it
have limitations on how many files, or is it a matter of memory and temp
space.
I thought to do the base dirs bin boot etc all as seperate jobs, but
then I also wanted any/all symlinks or files from the root dir...
I didnt find a -maxdepth or -mindepth switch...
Users views much appreciated.
My first subscription...
Hoping Im not flamed,
Cheers
Rick
