Dear List,
A question concerning data backups and transfer speed..
I am trying to do a backup using
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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
