You may have to add a few machines at a time to get the initial copies
across, but subsequent runs only copy differences. Full runs do a block
checksum compare so they take longer but not a lot more bandwidth.

Backuppc will pool all identical files into a single copy, so the rate
it grows will depend on how fast the files change and differences
between targets. If they don't have a lot in common you might as well
use several cheap servers instead of building one expensive monster - or
just start over when your disks are full.

There's no database - backuppc just uses the filesystem which, after
all, is a reasonable place to keep copies of files.
