Hi, I experience a slow backup problem with Time Machine on Mac. The info below does not help to reduce the backup time to a reasonable period. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204412 So I'd like to use grsync/rsync to incrementally back my disk. I know that Time Machine somehow can create hard links to manage incremental links. Since grsync/rsync is primarily targeted at Linux, is it a good idea to use it for Mac? Also, by using grsync/rsync, I guess that I will loose the ability to recover the bootable ability of the disk (as in TimeMachine). Is there a walkaround for this? Thanks. -- Regards, Peng
have a look at this one: http://osxdaily.com/2016/04/17/speed-up-time-machine-by-removing-low-process-priority-throttling/ i also recommend taking a look at borgbackup and https://github.com/borgbase/vorta roland Am 21.04.19 um 05:32 schrieb Peng Yu via rsync:> Hi, > > I experience a slow backup problem with Time Machine on Mac.
