Some test later ...
There is something wrong with the acls.
With --no-acls it took only 1.5 hours to process 1.17 TB !
Of cause it depends how many files change, but our last full tape-backup
lasts more than 2.5 days.
I have found a test case where rdiff-backup detects every file as
changed although the files are unchanged.
If i add the option --no-acls all works fine!
Yes, there's a bug. I don't think any data could be lost because of
it, but some files with ACLs will be considered changed when they
weren't, leading to the bad performance you noticed.
This patch should fix the problem:
