I wouldn't second that!

As you can see in the attached graph my BackupPC has 1G of memory- and
uses plenty of them for itself. On this box there is no GUI running and
this box does nothing else than backuppc with httpd only for backuppc.

>>From time to time when the BackupPC_dump task is running it consumes up
to 600M! So there is then not too much memory remaining for cache. There
are never more than two backup simultaniously.

For myself I'm considering to give this box 1.5G of memory....

BTW: I'm backing up 30 hosts.
