Re: [Duplicity-talk] why restart takes so long

[Kenneth Loafman]

No, there is no way to get rid of the loop, whichever one you're talking about, there are a lot of them.

The main suggestion I have for anyone with multi-hour backups is to:

1. Use a local filesystem or USB drive for backup,
2. Transfer the backup using rsync or similar tool.

The second suggestion I have is to chunk the backup into reasonably sized portions, 200-500GB each.

Hi.  I had to restart my full backup and its going through every file it
had and it is taking 18 hours and its not done yet.  I see a loop in
there and I wonder if there is any way to shorten the time or get rid of
the loop altoggether?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
