OK, for SSH, I'm already using -C switch...

Things I don't need to back up are excluded...

I'm actually doing 8 remote backups, which are starting alltogether at
21 PM... Until now, I didn't have too many troubles with bandwidth/time,
but I'll re-evaluate if it will come to a bottleneck.

So, in the end: is there any way to optimise my backups? Would the
application of more levels of incrementals, be helpful?

Kind regards,
