Differential Backup long-running #1872

Open redflag237 opened 4 years ago

redflag237 commented 4 years ago

These days i encountered several long-running backup processes. My block volume ist about 300G. I found out that it is the gpg process, that takes so much time to finish. From my unterstanding, there is the differential backup in step 1, then following encryption in step 2 and optionally upload in step 3. After success of step 3 the services will be resumed.

Is it possible to modify the backup script, so that the services can resume after differential backup took place? GPG encryption can be made in background while the users are able to work.

The backup, encryption, and send are all done by duplicity. There's no direct way to know where it is in that process.
