Strange that you do not want to keep the pc's running at night. Thats
the BEST time to do backups!

You may want to set compression on in the opt file. This will send=20
data
across the wire in a more compact form. you can also use
slowincremental, reduce the tcpwindowsize.

Now you do realize that backups during the day will slow the users=20
down
during the day if they happen to be working at the same time. Good=20
luck!
