[BackupPC-users] Breaking up large backups

2017-02-08 Thread Kenneth Porter
We all know that rsync's weakness is very large file sets. They have to be held in memory on both client and server to determine the change set to be transmitted. So it's reasonable to want to be able to break up a large backup client into multiple backup jobs by splitting subdirectories into t

Individual files range from k text files, to100GB+ in size. Everything from images to movies files, to text, to VM images. (We are a VFX studio). And mainly unique files. so deduplication I'm not honestly concerned about. I just like BackupPC UI and it's easy of use and I'm wondering if this is a

Has anyone used BackupPC in an enterprise environment? I'm talking PBs of data, 100's of servers, hybrid environment. Mac, Solaris, BSD, Linux, Windows. Did it work well? Any gotcha's? When you see PB of data does it make your gut feeling go uhh yeah no. I'm just fact finding and investigating.
