For each file, there is a constant amount of information to be stored in the database. If you have many small files, you have a proportionally larger amount of information to store in the database. Therefore, a 1MB file will backup faster than 1000 1KB files. Are you backing up to tape? If so, you might want to look into data spooling to see if that helps. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ Available for hire: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
