Wait, I can run multiple backups concurrently?  That would solve 
problems; I've gotten nearly my full throughput by running four rsyncs 
simultaneously.  How can I configure BackupPC to fire off all shares on 
a single host simultaneously?

My configuration is this (amended for brevity):

[cdrive]
     path = /cygdrive/c/
     auth users = backuppc
[edrive]
     path = /cygdrive/e/
     auth users = backuppc
[mc3]
     path = /cygdrive/h/mc3
     auth users = backuppc
[work]
     path = /cygdrive/h/work
     auth users = backuppc

This is all on a single Windows host.  The latter two, mc3 and work, are 
about 1T each, and doing all of these one at a time means that a full 
backup runs for days and day at 5MB/s (in fact it's never completed).

Is there a way to configure BackupPC to fire off all four of these 
shares simultaneously?  All I saw was how to fire off multiple hosts 
simultaneously, not multiple shares on the same host.
