I'm presently using KDAR to back up my sound file collection to an archive on a USB (2.0) drive.
Kdar is taking a VERRRY long time to do this. It's true the collection is 250 GB or so, but it's been running since midnight and it's only at 22%.
I find ?dar slow even on an internal hard disk. I would run the backup in an internal HD, then copy it over to the external drive; as you can limit the slice size in dar, and run a script on completion of each slice, you can use that to move over each completed slice to the usb drive, and thus you wouldn't need 250 GB free on your internal drive. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
