How fast is rdiff-backup? Can it be run on large data sets?

rdiff-backup FAQ
rdiff-backup can be limited by the CPU, disk IO, or available bandwidth, and the length of a session can be affected by the amount of data, how much the data changed, and how many files are present. That said, in the typical case the number/size of changed files is relatively small compared to that of unchanged files, and rdiff-backup is often either CPU or bandwidth bound, and takes time proportional to the total number of files.
Related Questions

Is rdiff-backup backwards compatible?

rdiff-backup FAQ
In general, rdiff-backup does not strive to make newer clients compatible with older servers (or vice versa). However, there is no intention to purposefully make different versions incompatible across the network -- changes are introduced primarily to fix bugs or introduce new features that cannot be implemented without breaking the network protocol. Furthermore, rdiff-backup does try to make it possible to read older archives.
Related Questions

How much memory should rdiff-backup use? Is there a memory leak?

rdiff-backup FAQ
The amount of memory rdiff-backup uses should not depend much on the size of directories being processed. Keeping track of hard links may use up memory, so if you have, say, hundreds of thousands of files hard linked together, rdiff-backup may need tens of MB. If rdiff-backup seems to be leaking memory, it is probably because it is using an early version of librsync. librsync 0.9.5 leaks lots of memory. Later versions should not leak and are available from the librsync homepage.

rdiff-backup FAQ
rdiff-backup versions 0.2.x require Python version 2.1 or later, and versions 0.3.x and later require Python version 2.2 or later. If you don't know what version of python you are running, type in "python -V" from the shell. I'm sorry if this is inconvenient, but rdiff-backup uses generators, iterators, nested scoping, and static/class methods extensively, and these were only added in version 2.2.

Is there some way to limit rdiff-backup's bandwidth usage, as in rsync's --bwlimit option?

rdiff-backup FAQ
There is no internal rdiff-backup option to do this. However, external utilities such as cstream can be used to monitor bandwidth explicitly. trevor@tecnopolis.ca writes: rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'cstream -v 1 -t 10000 | ssh %s '\''rdiff-backup --server'\'' | cstream -t 20000' 'netbak@foo.bar.com::/mnt/backup' localbakdir (must run from a bsh-type shell, not a csh type) That would apply a limit in both directions [10000 bytes/sec outgoing, 20000 bytes/sec incoming].

How large are the data sets you offer?

GLCF: FAQ
Many of our files are served as binary files. This is due to the fact that support for binary raster files is relatively standard across platforms and image processing packages. Usually one will need the pixels and lines and relevant georeferencing information. This may be found in the metadata file issued with all data downloaded from one's Workspace. If the data was served from a project-specific page, the metadata is either included in the download or is listed on the page itself.

Is it practical to backup large amounts of data across the Internet?

Net24 - Online Backup FAQ
Yes. Our software uses In-file Delta Technology which means that only the changes to the files are backed up. This means that if you have a large file that changes often then only the changes to that file are transferred to the backup server, not the entire file itself. The data is automatically compressed before it is transferred to the server.
