Rsync / rsnapshot via NFS

Hello, I try to backup my imap folder (140 GB in 1 000 000 files). I use rsnapshot on a mounted nfs share. The initial sync transfer in 1 hour only 2 GB. Iotop on the destination show 512kb/s. Network between source and destination is 1 GBit. Is the a way to speedup rsync?

rsnapshot hard-links files that haven't changed to save space. I am doing two half-day backups and a daily each day. Shouldn't the inode number as in ls -i filename stay the same for all the backups? There is a daily.0 file plus a halfday.0 and a halfday.1 backup and all 3 have diffe

Hi, I am using rsnapshot, together with run-rsnapshot and cron on my laptop. This works perfectly fine as long as I don't decide to shutdown during a backup. Unfortunately, on shutdown, rsnapshot gets terminated/killed, which leaves the backup in an inconsistent state. For example this might
