III days, but really, what else does your CPU have to do during the
backup time? You are mostly disk bound anyway - unless maybe you are
using IDE or USB drives that need CPU for the I/O work.

We have a server (nagios) that constantly having load around 15 to 20 - only two cores. Before we usd rsync over ssh and usually the backup lasts forever to finish and it is not good as nightly backup lasts the whole next day and until the next nightly backup, sometimes it has not finished it yet.

I therefore change all to use rsyncd module and backuppc is happy ever since -

Nevertheless that problem needs to be fixed anyway - I hope I have sometime this weekend to look at the backuppc source code and see what I can do about it. In the mean time, restore from tar archive works for now so it is not kind of show stopper ...

Cheers
