Rsync takes too long to increment backup

Support
1

I have set a rsync incremental backup on Nas drive.
rsync -ar --delete --exclude-file=FILE /Source /Destination
we have 150 GB of data on the NAS drive and it takes rsync 2 hrs to finish incremental backup.
I run this rsync backup using crontab and home folder , ibays are subjected to backup.

Any idea to speed up the precess.
When we use SmeServer it takes 15mins to fininsh incremental backup on same 150GB data.

Have you tried using, well, pretty much anything other than rsync? After all, rsync isn’t designed for speed (and it isn’t what SME uses).

Danb35, thanks for the reply. I didn’t try another option. But i have configures a duplicity backup also. In addition to it I would like to run a rsync like backup to access Backed up files easily.
