Thank you for the reply!
I had already change the max number of pending links to 30 and even though I
only have about 25 pending links, backups still will take a long time to
start.
Right now, BackupPC_Nightly actually won't stop running because some hosts
that I'm backing up are quite big.
And yes, I actually just changed the amount of days for BackupPC_Nightly to
run to take 16 days (since I have alot of disk space and don't mind
BackupPC_Nightly taking this long to clean). I hope that this will decrease
the amount ot time that BackupPC_Nightly runs for.
Still, backups never took this long to start and now it is taking very long.
