AFAIK, when you see fsck #0 on the web interface, it is actually doing a refCountUpdate, which just updates the current host, therefore it doesn't matter if other hosts are running a concurrent backup. > Usually how long does it take to complete? this is slowing down the > other backup that seems to be frozen. This is dependant on the number of files in the backup, and especially, your disk I/O performance. You will probably want to think about RAID10 or similar for your backup server in order to massively improve performance (or use bigger caches, either hardware raid cache, or allow linux to cache more). Equally, your filesystem might need tuning, or changing to a different FS might help too. Running multiple concurrent backups might be slower than running one at a time, depending on the speed of the client, and the performance of your BPC server. Remember, the disk can only read or write from one sector at a time, and random performance is significantly worse.
