Are you backing up nfs to nfs? From where to where are you doing backups?
The source data is on a ext3 partition, LVM volume, backed by a 15krpm raid 10 volume. Both rsyncs where conducted from the source host (the db server) to the backup server (which hosts nfs). In the nfs backup, I was rsyncing from the db filesystem to an NFS mount, and the ssh backup, I was rsyncing from the db filesystem to sshuser@backupserver:/backups.
Ok, so the DB is residing locally on the local server you are copying onto the nfs mount only during backup?
correct
