Ok, the first rsync full backup (488) completed. It took 500min. longer than
the last tar full backup (482).

Backup  Type    Filled  Level   Start Date      Duration/mins  Age/days
482     full    yes     0       5/19 02:05      3223.2         11.5
483     incr    no      1       5/21 07:49        89.6          9.2
484     incr    no      2       5/22 03:05       136.4          8.4
485     incr    no      3       5/23 03:05       119.1          7.4
486     incr    no      4       5/24 03:05       111.4          6.4
487     incr    no      1       5/25 03:05       165.9          5.4
488     full    yes     0       5/26 21:00      3744.2          3.7
489     incr    no      1       5/29 12:15       394.1          1.1
490     incr    no      2       5/30 03:05       190.8          0.4

I'm not sure if the checksum caching will compensate this in after the 3rd
backup. Anything else I could do to tune rsync?
