We're a mid-sized university academic department and are fairly happy 
with our current BackupPC setup.  We currently backup an 800 GB 
fileserver (which has an iSCSI-attached drive), a few other sub-300 GB 
fileservers, a bunch of XP desktops.  The 800 GB fileserver takes a long 
time to back up...almost a full day, and I think this is normal for 
BackupPC.  We'd like to use BackupPC to backup some of our heftier linux 
servers -- moving into the multiple terabyte range (5-10 TB).  We're 
considering a ZFS filesystem over gigabit for our backup target, but 
obviously are concerned that backing up 5 TB of data would take a week.

Is this where we should consider multiple BackupPC servers to break up 
the backup time?  Should we move to a solution with less overhead (if 
there is one)?  Thanks for any input or experiences.

Chris
