Hi Felix,
But I don't plan to use rdiff-backup any longer, anyway: As said before
it takes approximately an hour when running the backup on 6 to 7GB of
data, even when the changes comprise only a few MB of data. The
destination is a LinkStation (a 400 MHz MIPSel computer with the backup
HD) and, as it looks, its CPU is utilized more than 90% during that
hour.
Sorry, it's well known that rdiff-backup takes longer than it should to
back up. Unfortunately nobody has been able to fix it yet, but I expect it
will happen soon. For what it's worth, I backup about 30 GB every night
between several machines, and since it runs overnight, I don't mind that
it takes about four hours.
I wonder whether I should simply revert to "rsnapshot" or "star" for
doing backups, the latter making it very simple and safe to encrypt and
move around backup data (e.g. to copy it to DVDs) as it is stored in TAR
archives (which are a bit of a pain when playing back data, though).
Did you decide against Box Backup?
Cheers, Chris.
