Hi,

I also have a question about backup-speed. I use
tar -cf /mnt/net.tar.bz2 --bzip2 --exclude="*.iso" /data/net
to backup to a Iomega Rev-drive, connected via sata. I see the light
every three or four seconds. Backup of about twenty GB takes hours. At
work with the same type of drive via USB I can backup about 100GB in
less time, with backup-software for Windows. There the light of the
drive almost never goes out when backing up.

Is there a way to speed things up ?

Regards,

Koenraad Lelong.

P.S. I hope I didn't hi-jack this thread. Is so, I'll remember not to do
this in the future.
