I do use rsync for my backups, and what I've noticed is that the first time I do a backup it uses a lot of system resources, especially I/O, which causes a high server load. After that, rsync doesn't take too long and there's not much additional load. You may not need the limiting features unless you will be doing a full backup every day, and if you are, don't use rsync. -- Matthew Nuzum [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.followers.net - Makers of Elite Content Management System View samples of Elite CMS in action by visiting http://www.followers.net/portfolio/ ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Hi, I know this doesn't answer your question; I don't use that feature myself. I do use rsync for my backups, and what I've noticed is that the first time I do a backup it uses a lot of system resources, especially I/O, which causes a high server load. After that, rsync doesn't take too long and there's not much additional load. my rsync (4 million files) run did take very long and stopped the machine from responding. You may not need the limiting features unless you will be doing a full backup every day, and if you are, don't use rsync. I now need to do a full backup as this is a new server. Obviously I will do incremental backups in the near future but not now :-) Thanks.

Hi Werner, I now need to do a full backup as this is a new server. Obviously I will do incremental backups in the near future but not now :-) When you issue the rsync command form the source machine you can try a nice so it will not eat all your cpu. For other solutions dig the archives of the list - there are actually two approaches. 1: set the ulimit for the server to limit mem/cpu usage 2: use the vsched options (there was a thread on the list some weeks ago, http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg09262.html or google for vsched ) Oliver -- Diese Nachricht wurde digital unterschrieben oliwel's public key: http://www.oliwel.de/oliwel.crt Basiszertifikat: http://www.ldv.ei.tum.de/page72 smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
