The discussion over the various BackupPC scenarios got me to thinking. My server IS disk bound. All the servers it backs up on on at least a 100M network link in the same room and some on 1G. With the default settings (4 simultaneous backups), the system is sitting right now at load average 9.25 and IO/wait from 33-99%. How does one best determine the fastest way to configure for the given scenario. Based on one respondent's comments, it makes me think I might be better off having only 1 backup running at a time?
What's a good IO/WAIT average to shoot for? Load average? Other things I might not be thinking of?
