What are some options for speeding up the verification of past increments?
My guess is that the CPU might be a bottleneck for the SHA1 hash
calculation, so that's something I would check first.
But how does the verify process work? Does it reconstruct the file in
memory, or does it use a temporary directory?
...
It seems like if I don't have TMP, TMPDIR, or TEMP defined as
environment variables, it is operating system dependent on where Python
creates the temporary file. Or unless I pass the --tempdir option to
rdiff-backup.
http://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html
And if the --verify or --verify-at-time options create lots of temporary
files, and write/read lots of data to the temporary directory, then I
should probably move that directory to a separate set of spindles.
