The discussion over the various BackupPC scenarios got me to thinking. My server IS disk bound. All the servers it backs up on on at least a 100M network link in the same room and some on 1G. With th

It's an awfully good question, but there probably isn't a single right answer. My server is a quad-cpu beast on a gigabit network, but I settled on two backups at a time after measuring degradation (

Hi the "perfect" max load should be the number of cpus you have, so a quad-core server can sustain a load of 4 without any problem... after that number, the higher the load, the higher will be the pe
