The second full backup since changing to rsync has finished now, and it took 600 min. less than the last couple of full backups before. On the other hand the incremental backups now need 3-4h in contrast to 60-80 min. before. I'll stay with rsync for now, maybe with a longer interval between the full backups. rsync should catch moved/deletet files.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't browse backup directory
Okay, I figured it out. My new backups were incrementals based off a different
root.
ie: my old backups did /cygdrive/c, /cygdrive/h and /cygdrive/j. My new backups
did /cygdrive/c/shadow/. BackupPC gotr confused. As soon as my Friday fulls
came by, it all worked again.

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc - archive without using tar
Hi Richard, thanks for your reply and your valuable advice. I testet your shell command several times last night and it worked perfectly for me. Files are restored to my mounted eSATA-HD without any problems. Existing files get overwritten automatically which is also a nice feature to me. Otherwise I would have to delete the whole eSATA-HD first before taking a new complete BackupPC-snapshot onto it. Unfortunately, I now found out about two other problems with BackupPC which make it almost unusable to me: A restore of files > 2 GB is impossible over SAMBA (no LFS-Support with smbclient) Backing up my both NAS-devices (1TB each, ARM-CPU, Linux) via Rsyncd over network is far too slow to use. (ca. 2,5 MB/s) That means a single 10GB-file takes more than 1 hour to get copied to my BackupPC-server. BackupPC is really a nice software but these both issues make it inappropriate for my use-cases. Thanks again. :-) Greetings, Torsten +-- |This was sent by p...@gmx.at via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

But nevertheless your example above would not work. If you exclude /home you can't include something among them. br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
