Big difference there is that in order to create an incremental star archive, star has to walk the whole filesystem or folder that's getting backed up, and do a "stat" on every file to see which files have changed since the last backup run. If you have a large filesystem, that can take a very long time. I recently switched to ZFS specifically for this reason. Previously, I was doing a nightly rsync on 1Tb of data. It required 10 hrs every night to run, and copy typically a few hundred megs that had changed that day. Now, I run incremental zfs send & receive, and it completes typically in a minute or two. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
