On my boxbackup client (FreeBSD 4.10) I've got this:

   PID NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
14544   0 49688K 48576K RUN     17.3H 98.10% 98.10% bbackupd


So I looked at the logs:

And on the server (FreeBSD 4.10):

followed by a bunch of normal housekeeping messages.

It was working fine with 3.5Gb of other stuff, but it's choked now that 
I added my Maildirs to the list. Anything I can try to make this work, 
or do I need to find another way to backup large directories?
