Hi, we are backing up our pp db every night , this is no problem.

But our data-directory is something around 30 GB, we tar it and scp it to a different server (both connected directly). This takes long (full backup) cron starts it every second night for us, but the whole process (tar, scp) takes around 260 minutes.

How do you do this? Anyone uses some kind of incremental backup?
