Hi,
I’m coming to urbackup from windows home server 2003 which has served me very well for a long time but urbackup allows me to free up the machine for other things.
I have urbackup setup to incrementally backup several computers daily with a minimum of 2 incremental backups and a maximum of 5.
I find urbackup to be very slow at backing up compared to WHS. I took a full image backup of 2 machines yesterday, one was around 136gig in size the other around 60gig.
The 136gig computer to 516 minutes to complete, and the 60 gig computer 238 minutes. Today the first incremental backup of the 136gig computer took 136 minutes and a further 30gig of storage space, whilst the 60gig machines first incremental backup took 85 minutes and a further 12gig of space.
Almost nothing had changed on the machines from yesterday to today.
Now, the transfer time is about right for the speed of my network and the amount of data transferred, however why is so much more data than I expected being transferred during the incremental backups?
