PLEASE HELpBarman Incremental backup and full backup very slow

[savita...@gmail.com]

I am doing Full backup and incremental backup using barman rsync method and using --jobs 4 and parallel_jobs =4  , but Both full and incremental backups are very slow and taking exactly same time. 

barman@Backup-server:~$ barman list-backup server
