Hi ppl! Got a weird problem I just wanted to share. I haven't done any real troubleshooting just yet, but I thought this might be interesting to document for the future because I haven't seen a post about this previously.
Consider my setup; 3 vmware esxi servers of various performance. 1 QNAP TS-419 NAS. Gigabit network. Backing up with ghetto.
The log from the suspicious server;

1. It's an old version of ghetto that has worked flawlessly in the past and no changes have been made recently.
2. These VM's are thin disks, but there's at least 20GB of data on each of them.
3. The other two servers are backing up roughly the same amount of data and does it in about two hours.
Weird, right? 
Supermaxxed! lol
