[BackupPC-users] speed Mb/sec
Hi, I'm quite new with backupPC. In just two weeks of operation calculated speed dropped from 3Mb/sec to 0.12 Mb/sec. Incremental backup takes some 2 hours. It uses rsync and doing backup of the local server only.

[BackupPC-users] speed Mb/sec
Why, of course? Why the speed dropped from 3Mb/sec to 0.12 Mb/sec? Sorry for not being obvious.

With rsync the Mb/Sec doesn't have much to do with the work of the backup since it still has to traverse the disks checking for changes even if it transfers very little. And in the case of large files with small changes, it has to uncompress/copy the original on the server side to merge in the bits of changed data. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupFilesExclude
You don't need the trailing /* with rsync. I use that in a few places, but
only because it excludes everything under the directory, but backs up the
directory itself. Useful for restoring directory meta-data.
Note that the excludes are simply passed to the underlying transport (rsync,
tar, etc)... see INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES in the rsync man page for how
they will get handled.
Mine typically looks like this (which is what the examples in the docs look
like):
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/mydata' = [
'/vmware',
'/xen',
'/kvm'
]
};
