Rich,

/mnt/sda1/tce/mydata.tgz ~ 19 Mb
du -S /home/tc ~ 47.1 Mb

I think I did not consider nested subdirectories in the directory /home/tc when he said that its size is <1 Mb

Hi forsik
I think it's due to the size of you backup, your /home directory is 47Mbytes. Those commands I had you
run that timed the tar operation are essentially the same command used by the backup utility. It took
20 seconds to tar and compress one 6Mbyte directory to disk, at that speed, it would take 2 minutes
and 40 seconds to backup 47Mbytes. That is, if time scales linearly with size and regardless of content,
which I don't know that it does.

I think I almost solved the problem. I deleted from the folder /home directories are not used programs (mozilla, opera 8 etc ...) and the size of the folder /home has decreased to 3 Mb. It looks like browser cache is saved in /home/... Sorry for your time. It remains only to deal with the cache.

Hi forsik
The .xfiletool.lst list should automatically exclude cache entries. Let us know what the backup time is now.

Everything is arranged so hard ... Now I realized it was. Now /mnt/sda1/tce/mydata.tgz now takes 2 MB, and the backup takes a few seconds. However there were other problems, but it is not for this topic. Thank you very much for your help.
