I have one client that shows a speed of 51.24 MB/s
for its last full backup but this is definitely not a indication of the
wire speed of the link between it and the server as that is a PTP
wireless link with a max speed of 150 mb/s.
The client is linux file server with a i5 processor 4 GB of ram an
Another consideration is file system. Once you get beyond basic hardware, there
are a number of tweaks to look at on the software side.
Your setup isn't terrible, but there's a lot of room for improvement. As

Your server will need more RAM, 1GB is simply not enough when using rsync.
The 1TB WD-green is a slow consumer drive. It will be much more prone to
failure.
Your clients will swamp your server, assuming Gigabit network
infrastructure.
Now, this being said, once your initial fulls are done your set
Hi,
I am modifying my whole backup system for greater volume and speed. The
new system is as follows:
Software - Backuppc using rsync (without SSH)
Server -D865PERL Motherboard
Pentium 4 - 2.4 GHz Processor
IDE System hard drive
