The run I started on Friday still hasn't completed and since backuppc has run 
nightly it is picking up new files in the pc directory that weren't in the pool 
when it started - so the size is larger than I expected and it isn't going to 
fit.

Top shows fairly reasonable memory use, though.

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  3899 root      18   0  364m 349m 2800 D  1.9  8.9   1396:55 hb


It probably would be a lot faster if it didn't display the filenames being 
copied.
