What about when there is no prior file? I have explictly deleted the
original file from the prior backup and I still get an RStmp file. Is
it just filled with zeros or something?

I agree with Tony that the new file is created very slowly. I have
14GB of the 38GB file transfrerred and the latest backup attempt has
been running since:

    2009-02-12 19:58

so that is very slow indeed.

Is there some data I can get to try to figure out where the bottleneck
is? Since Tony said he sees the same issues using --whole-file I guess
that won't solve my problem either.
