I know, but that's not the point here. Speed doesn't concern me- the
copy should later go over a slow link anyways. And for this link USB2.0
is fast enough.

I had this in mind- but as it should go over a small line I preferred to
figure out the amount of data first.

It matches my experience with the dump utility. I created the second one
with a size of 300GB after a day. And the next day again. And so on...

Any possible ways to verify why this is so many data? I moutned the pool
with "noatime,data=ordered" for ext3.

I know. For this I wanted to share my experience here.
