I'm popping into this thread because I'm also running "outsourced
backups" (me calling them "remote backups").
I'm successfully running a backuppc server at my office, which is
backing up 8 remote servers for 8 different customers.
I'm doing 1 FULL and subsequential 6 INCR. Here some config details:

(FullPeriod=6.97, FullKeeCnt=4, FullKeepCntMin=1, FullAgeMax=90)
(IncrPeriod=0.97, IncrKeepCnt=24, IncKeepCntMin=1, IncrAgeMax=30,
IncrLevels=1)

I'm pretty satisfied with this setup, but still I'd like to have some
suggestions for eventually optimise transfer times or other things that
would help "doing better".

What can you people suggest? Les, do you have some specific advices?

I can tell you that I'd like to lower some data transfer durations for
at least two of my remote hosts (they sit on slightly slower DSL): look

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Flavio Boniforti
