I'm not sure about that link.

Let me correct myself based on my previous email.

You should install and configure rsyncd on Windows machine that show problem. If it is not problematic, smb method is simpler.

You should install rsync client on your backuppc Linux server.

How to install and configure rsyncd on Windows? I believe that this reference is better: http://gerwick.ucsd.edu/backuppc_manual/backuppc_winxp.html

Then using backuppc gui, edit the setting for that machine to use rsync client in the machine to connect to rsyncd on Windows machine

i'm trying to set up a rsyncd backup for a windows machine following this guide
http://www.michaelstowe.com/backuppc/
but the script preusercmd.sh try to open another script located at /etc/backuppc/scripts/auth.sh and i don't have that script. is that script somewhere else or has disappear in version 3.1.0.
also i got trouble with winexe but this is o.s. related.

Try disable the compression, and see if it improves.

Personally, I have seen Windows machine with big share size, more than 1GB is transferring very slow. This could be due to samba have to read all the files, generate the tarmode file, transfer the file over to the server, extract the file, then comparing which file that should be saved.

Try to transfer a 1GB file from your Windows machine to your Linux machine to see how long does it takes to finish.

For my solution, I changed all Windows machine with big share size to use rsyncd. I setup rsyncd on my BackupPC, then install rsync client on the Windows machine.

After configuring rsync client, the first backup will be slow, but the subsequent backup will be fast because rsync algorithm check for changed file, and only transfer that file.

You mile might vary.

Hi,
i have backuppc backing up a couple of linux machines of 30/40 GB each
and a windows shared folder of 1.1 TB.
Usually it takes one day and a half to backup the windows folder with a
speed around 7 mbit/s but now the speed has decreased to 5 and it takes
up ot 3 days to make full backup.
I have already tried to reboot the server but speed remain the same.
so some details, the backup server is proxmox virtualized, 2.5 Gb of ram
and 2 processors (seems enaught since never reach more than 80% when
making backup) 10/100 eth integrated port.
The windows system is a windows server 2003, also proxmox virtualized, 1
processor.
Backup is make on local environment, at night so lan traffic is very low
or null.
host configuration on backuppc is:
XderMethod:smb
ClientCharsetLegacy:iso-8859-1
SmbClientFullCmd: $smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U
$userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList
SmbClientIncrCmd: $smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U
$userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -TcN$X_option $timeStampFile - $fileList
compresslevel:3 (maybe i can reduce compression to save time, IF the
problem is backuppc server speed)

how can i speed up my backups? also on linux machine max speed is 11
mbit/s, so not so much.
thank yuo
