You can split on filesystem boundaries by adding the --one-file-system
option to the rsync command and all mount points that you want to
back up to $Conf{RsyncShareName}. I do that routinely to avoid walking
into mounted CD's or temporary NFS mounts, but you have to realize that
things that aren't mentioned in the list don't get backed up. It may
not help if you have everything on one filesystem or an uneven
distribution. Adding memory to the backuppc server might help.
