This is probably the most eternal question concerning rsync, but I'm really in doubt since I can't find the appropriate answer or solution anywhere for many months.
I'm using rsync for simple daily back up data from one HD to another. It takes about 10 minutes daily under "nice -n 19". The problem is well-known as I see - several other services such as httpd or mysql begin responding slowly (up to 10 sec for mysql queries which usually processed in a small fraction of a second). The reason is pretty obvious, but still are there any general recommendations on how to solve or appreciably soften the situation?
