Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-9
Severity: wishlist

Some hosts that I back up are behind dial-up lines. Yesterday,
backuppc's somewhat chaotic scheduling (try to run up to X backups
at once, waking up every hour, … chaotic is not meant to sound
negative) caused three hosts behind the same dial-up line to be
backed up at once. All three timed-out because the bandwidth just
didn't allow the three to be backed up at the same time.

It would be cool if I could group hosts into infrastructural
clusters and then assign rules to those clusters, e.g. "no more than
one backup at a time from this cluster".

Thanks,
