[Duplicity-talk] Duplicity is slow on many small files

[Fazekas László]

Hi!

I'm using duplicity to backup my webhosting server. My www directory is 
17G, and it contains many many small files. A full backup to amazon S3 
is >1 day. Is this a normal running time for a full backup? Creating tar 
from the www folder is 12min. Is it a good idea to make a tar before 
backup? Will it speed up the backup process? Will duplicity store only 
modifications of the tar? Or have you any other idea to speeding up the 
backup?

Ty
