Anyway, I'm preparing a separate test setup now, to be able to do
correct tests (so both BackupPC and an rsync tree are using data from
the same time).
Test results will be here tomorrow.
But I don know that BackupPC does use more band

if you run opensolaris or a BSD with ZFS you can use ZFS as a zraid and you
get the benefits of LVM, Raid5, and filesystem level compression all in one.
I have noticed ZFS to be very resource friendly under heavy load even with
compression and zraid enabled.

Look in the config.pl file (if debian, it's probably
/etc/backuppc/config.pl).
If you have four 160GB drives, I would suggest using MD/LVM to create one
large logical volume. The "best" arrangement would probably be something
like a RAID 5 with all four drives, and maybe an LVM volume on top of

I've always thought that Bacula was a better fit to be integrated (how
tightly or loosely is debatable) with BackupPC.
