Bug Description
I am using backintime 1.1.2 on a current 64 bit Linux.
When restoring a large number of relatively small file (~10K) the restore is very slow for no reason. It takes most of its time displaying chown and chmod messages utterly needlessly. This can easily be fixed in one of two ways:
1. Have an option not to display all that junk. Simply not causing the OS to display all of those messages in the popup display would speed the restore tremendously.
-or-
2. Why don't you just store the backup with the correct owner and mode on the backup medium then you wouldn't have to do any of it.
Again, my restore spends more time chown & chmod than restoring the data.

I believe this is the same as bug #1428423. But regarding 2. this can be done by enabling 'Full rsync mode' in options.
I'll put this on hold and after fixing the other bug we can see again if it is still to slow.
