Backuppc's usual scaling issues are with the number of files/links more than 
total size, so the problems may be different when you work with huge files.  I 
thought someone had posted here about using nfs with a common archive and 
several servers running the backups but I've forgotten the details about how he 
avoided conflicts and managed it.  Maybe this would be the place to look at 
opensolaris with zfs's new block-level de-dup and a simpler rsync copy.
