Hi, I am use rdiff-backup from an remote server:
rdiff-backup [email protected]::/remote/backup/path /local/backup/path The remote content only changes once a day, so I can have all day to do my backup, without worrying about content inconsistency. It usually completes within an hour anyway. However, I am conscious that the rdiff-backup daemon in the remote server is using up quite a bit of CPU cycles. It is a rather busy server for it's limited hardware, I can see measurable impact on over all service performance during the backup. I am wondering if there is a way to run the remote rdiff-backup daemon in nice 19, for example, to reduce the stress it puts on the server. I would prefer not initiate the backup from the remote server, because the backup target host(s) address changes rather frequently. Thanks! iCy _______________________________________________ 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
