Hi - I just started using BackupPC about 3 weeks ago. I'm using the default schedule, where I should have a full backup performed once a week. I have 5 servers backing up to this server. Before this, I used Legato and backed up to a tape jukebox. I used to think those backups were slow (sometimes up to 15 hours for a full backup), but now it's taking days (at 3 and counting for one server) to complete a full backup. (I love the faster restore time though).
What factors most influence the speed of backups? The machine I'm using is a Celeron 1200 MHz processor with 2 gb RAM. The OS is CentOS. BackupPC version 3.1.0. So far, the best success I've had is to only allow one machine to backup at a time. That scares me a little though, because the other 4 then have stale backups. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I just need a better machine?
