Bug Description

Binary package hint: sbackup

sbackupd is currently running an incremental backup, and has been for 4.5 hours. its resident memory usage is nearly 800M:

root 16734 6.7 19.8 904868 779996 ? SN 08:03 1:53 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/sbackupd

is it storing the entire set of files and properties in one big dictionary in memory?

I notice the user who reported the issue, and that makes me suspect that the problem occurs if large databases and
large files need to be backed up (overall disk size in terabytes).

I confirm that there is room for improvement and I'm already working on something in trunk. Though, please don't ask for a release date and note this won't fix in any of the current stable series (0.10.x and 0.11.x as packaged in Lucid, Maverick, Natty).
