I'll let everyone know how the 10 GB NTFS partition with 7 GB of
data on it compresses down to and how long it took to make a backup
accross a 100 Mbit connection.
The back-up file ended up being around 5GB. We had 100 mbits (as
indicated by the switch) between the two systems. The backup took
about 6 hours. That's less than a 10 mbit transfer rate. I was not
able to ascertain the bottleneck. CPU usage was below 30%. The hard
drive lights on both boxen were blinking intermittently.
