Hi Germar,
I'm trying to monitor this.
A couple of questions.
I just run a backup that launched some removals in the background.
The snapshot to remove is just one, but if I type "ps -ef | grep backin" I find 5 different processes:

If I understand this output correctly, it seems they have been started all at the same time. Is this normal?

Also, if I use "htop" I see that there's a command running on that snapshot: it's a find for all directories, on each of which chmod u+wx is executed. Why is this command run? If I look at my snapshots folder, it seems like to me that all snapshot directories and all the subfolders in them are already writable and executable to the owner...
