Tino,
Very good explanation. One minor comment...
The whole process works roughly like this:
- backups are done by BackuPC_dump on per-client basis, no explicit
pooling involved yet (apart from full backups where existing/unaltered
files are linked into the new backup from last full, so
how many files are being backed up that it is taking so long? is it a
bandwidth issue or a file count issue. are you backing up multiple hosts at
the same time? I think that the 24hours is a awefull long time to do the

I just started using BackupPC about 3 weeks ago. I'm using the
default schedule, where I should have a full backup performed once a
week. I have 5 servers backing up to this server. Before this, I
used Legato and backed up to a tape jukebox. I used to think those
