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 ?
bzip2 compression is slow, it uses a lot of cpu. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
