I backup 24x7.  There is no period I am not doing backups on this server...

Hi,

I have recently upgraded a long term BackupPC server from 2.x to 3.1.0.
Now that the admin jobs can run during backups, they start at 01:00 and
run many hours.  4 backups are running simultaneously and the load
average holds at around 16-17.  How is the best way to tune for
performance?  It is 75-85% waiting on the disk.  Maybe this is okay?

You should edit the default config so that the daily admin run is at a
time when you will not run any backups (ie during your blackout period)
for the best performance.

Regards,
Adam
