How do you configure your clients to make sure that not all 250
clients are being backed up at the same time, IE how are you
distributing the load?

I am currently planning to evaluete backuppc to back up about the same
amount of clients and I  am a little "nervous" of the peak load if I
am not capable of distributing the load over the full working day
(clients are mainly labtops…)
