Thanks for the reply. We have a performance monitoring system and that high system load is triggering quite some alerts. The backup is basically done in a single command pipeline: find -L $SRCROOT -xdev -size -50G | \ cpio -o -H tar | \ gzip -c -1 > $DSTPATH Therefore it's difficult to insert "sleep" into there. ----- -- Kent Tong Wicket tutorials freely available at http://www.agileskills2.org/EWDW -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/system-load-spike-tf4668531.html#a13336609 Sent from the Debian User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
