slow.....
Hi,
I just purchased SD, and I tested it out a bit. My goal, really, is to just keep my home directory backed up to a firewire drive. In my first test, I created a backup plan that just copied a small directory (just a few dozen, small files) to a mounted disk image. The backup plan read: (ignore) * (ignore) .* (copy) Users/me/junk [As an aside, is there any way to create entries (ignore) * and (ingore) .* ? The only way I could do that was by modifying a built-in plan which alreadu had these entries.] Anyway, when I went to do a backup, I watched in amazement as it scanned *all* the files in my hard drive to find the ones I wanted backed up. It took over 5 minutes (on an iBook G4). Just using Finder to copy my whole home directory takes about 15 minutes, so this won't give me the speed-up I really wanted. Is there some option or setting I'm missing, or is this the way SD is supposed to work? I realize, SD seems designed mainly to backup whole volumes, and so it may not be optimized for "small" backups. |
