A full rsync of the 1.5 TB or so of data on this server takes maybe 10 -11 hours. A full backup using Duplicity to the same USB drive on the same server was less than half that - I gave up on 26% after some 16 hours. I'd expect some added overhead for the encrypting and tarring that's going on, but this is nuts. I have to be doign something wrong or nobody would be using duplicity.
