Which is what I expected actually. As you can see in other messages on the mailinglist, it's the rather unique way backuppc stores files that is its strong point but it's also its Achilles heel. On any fairly recent machine it's the IO that makes it go slow, not the cpu. > Mem: 2023220k total, 2009352k used, 13868k free, 2652k buffers > Swap: 5927944k total, 8k used, 5927936k free, 1572704k cached At least you're not swapping :) Concluding I would say that this is the expected and normal behaviour.
