One thing I think is missing from backuppc that amanda has had for years 
is a concept of grouping (or excluding...) by network connectivity.  I 
have a mix of local and remote targets and would like to be able to 
control concurrency to permit 1 or 2 local backups plus separate limits 
for each independent WAN path.
