I'm running rdiff-backup on a Western Digital My Book World Edition II, it's a little NAS server that runs linux and has ssh login available.
The rdiff-backup is running from one of the NAS server's drives to the other drive, i.e. it's not being run from another system to (or from) the NAS and thus is not limited by network bandwidth. I'm backing up two large[ish] directories, one is around 164Gb, the other is about 35Gb. The 35Gb one takes about 7 minutes to run, which is fine, but the 165Gb one takes 4 hours and 5 minutes. Presumably there's some sort of resource limitation which the bigger backup is hitting and hence running slower. Is there anything I can do to improve performance? My first guess would be that rdiff-backup is running out of 'real' memory and swapping which is slowing things. It has 126828 kB of memory, more than I thought, that's 128Mb. The processor is an ARM926EJ-S, 183 BogoMIPS. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ 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
