BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ahem.

Sorry.

There are over a hundred hosts being backed up, with almost no
duplication between them.  There is 3.5TiB on the BackupPC
partition.

The manually kicked off run:

2010-10-14 11:39:03 Running 8 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15)
2010-10-14 11:39:03 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 31 (pid=6375)

2010-10-14 18:54:56 Running BackupPC_nightly 32 63 (pid=4868)

And it's still going.  I'm going to kill it; it's just delaying
backups to no purpose.  Maybe the nightly run will work.
