You ignored that rdiff-backup has to read a lot more than 500MB to get the 500MB diffs (files' timestamps and file data that has not changed). > > Athlon 2000, 7200 IDE disks, version 0.12.2 (really old version, but It > doesn't updated, is there any improvement?) > > Any comment on this? It really depends upon how many files you have. For a server (lots of files in maildirs etc., won't fit in the dir cache), rdiff-backup is disk-bound - reading all the files' timestamp just takes lots of time that cannot be optimized. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
