Hi

backuppc                                       3.1.0-9.1
rsync                                          3.0.7-2

OK I have a fairly decent spec backup server with 2 gigabit e1000 nics 
bonned together and running in bond mode 0 all working 100%. If I run 
plain rsync between the backup server and a backup client both connected 
on gigabit lan I can get sync speeds of +/- 300mbit/s but using backuppc 
and rsync the max speed I get is 20mbit and the backup is taking 
forever. Currently I have a full backup thats been running for 3461:23 
minutes where as the normal rsync would have taken a few hours to complete.

The data is users maildirs and its about 2.6Tb and I am not using rsync 
over ssh, I have the rsync daemon running on the client and have setup 
the .pl as follows.

config

#
$Conf{ClientTimeout} = 28800;

# Minimum period in days between full and incremental backups:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;

# Number of full and incremental backups to keep:
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 2;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 10;
# Note that additional fulls will be kept for as long as is necessary
# to support remaining incrementals.

#$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = 'sudo /bin/mount -t nfs ns1:/var/mail /var/mail';
#$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = 'sudo /bin/umount /mnt/mail';

# What transport to use backup the client [smb|rsync|rsyncd|tar|archive]:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';

# The file system path or the name of the rsyncd module to backup when
# using rsync/rsyncd:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['backuppc'];

$Conf{RsyncdAuthRequired} = 0;

$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'xxxxxxxx';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'xxxxxxxx';

# If this is defined only these files/paths will be included in the backup:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = undef;

# These files/paths will be excluded from the backup:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [
                 '/DONOTDELETE',
                 '/lost+found'
];

# Level of verbosity in Xfer log files:
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;

# Commands to run for client backups:
# Note the use of SSH's -C attribute. This enables compression in SSH.
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$rsyncPath $argList+';

# Commands to run for client direct restores:
# Note the use of SSH's -C attribute. This enables compression in SSH.
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$rsyncPath $argList+';

# Compression level to use on files. 0 means no compression. See notes
# in main config file before changing after backups have already been done.
$Conf{CompressLevel} = 3;
