[BackupPC-users] The usual questions looking for better ansers

[Richard S. <hob...@gm...>]

I was recently sub-contracted to setup BackupPC for a business and
everything's fine so far but I was hoping to make some improvements.

1. On the server, which is a Xeon Quad 2GHz machine, I've got a rsync
over ssh dump that's been running for over 12 hours which is about
300GB into a 800GB share. Perl seems to be the bottleneck on the
server and ssh is only using about 20-30% of one core on the client so
I'm assuming changing the ssh cypher will not help.

Is there any tips or tricks I can apply in this case?

2. Can more than one email address be added to the configuration for
the EMailAdminUserName?

3. I have more than one share that needs to be backed up from the
client but they want a different backup schedule for 1 of the shares.
Am I going to have to setup fake/virtual hosts to accomplish this?

The host->ip resolution is being handled by a hosts file so I could
add aliases there so BackupPC would treat them as separate clients,
right?
