[BackupPC-users] rsyncd full backup

[Sharuzzaman A. R. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have implemented BackupPC for my customer.

Initially, the backup transport is SMB, but recently, I noticed a lot of
machine backup (full and incremental) is not able to complete in 8 hours,
due to large number of file, and big file size.

Last week, I installed DeltaCopy (rsycnd server for Windows) on one
machine, and change the backup transport to rysncd. The backup runs well.

But today, I noticed, when BackupPC is running a full backup on the machine
that have rsyncd, it still takes 8 hours to do full backup.

Which is I considered weird, because rsync suppose to compare that full
backup, with the previous full backup (or previous full + incremental), so
that only modified file is transferred.

That is my expectation when I plan to use rsyncd.

Any explanation why BackupPC is not running in this way? Any configuration
that I can changed to make it work like what I expect?

Thanks.
