Well, the cli initiated backups ran fast, some of the courses I backed up were the ones that had been very slow during the auto-backup.
I have no other processes running on the server while running the auto backup, no cron jobs or anything else.
I now and then do run top in another session, but it is rather confusing. I am on a shared server, my guess is that we are five users. According to 'top' the total mem is 43112192k, I have 8G I can use, so there is probably four more users on the server. As I write 'top' only shows a few running comands: cpanel, sshd, bash, top and php. Often 'top' do not show that I use a lot of mem, but cpanel does. I do run 'top' now and then anyway because it's a stream, cpanel only show static data. But until now it have not made me any wiser.
So at the moment I know that automatic backup are slow, the cli backup is not. And rsync take its time too. I really do not have any idea about what to look after - apart from the so called orphaned module whatever that is. Luckily the users gets a really good experience with Moodle's performance.
