You will almost certainly finish faster if you back up a few at a time than if 
the server tries to run them all at once.  If you have a real need to have a 
consistent snapshot of all the filesystems at one point in time you'll probably 
need support from the target filesystems to do the snapshot locally (LVM, VSS, 
zfs, etc.) and let backuppc back up the snapshots.

Exactly! 8-)

What kind of hardware and infrastructure would you actually need to perform a 
backup on twenty hosts at once, insofar, as this is quantifiable?

Ah, ok. But you may want to reconsider backing up all your twenty hosts at
once. Are you sure your network and backup server can handle that amount of
load? Normally one sets the queue to handle two to four hosts at once.

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup for all of the hosts at certain pointof time

2011-02-07 Thread Daniel Berteaud
You need to adjust the MaxBackups number if you really want to backup
all 20. But increasing this value to 20 will probably slow down backups
(slower than backing them up 2 or 4 at a time).
