Hi,
I was wondering, if there is a way to parallelize backup of a client. It
often feels that the speed of the backup is limited by cpu (even thought
it is no slouch) and/or rsync overhead. There is actually even rsync_par

Hi,
I have few questions related to compression
Currently, I have BackupPC 3 installed on Intel NUC with 4 core pentium,

turned it off. I am about to switch to v4, so it might be worth to
reconsider, since the increments are

OpenSSH package has utility "ssh-copy-id". You run it from machine from
which you want to connect and generated key files (ssh-keygen utility),
give credentials (user and hostname where you want connect) for first
