You will almost certainly finish faster if you back up a few at a time than if 
the server tries to run them all at once.  If you have a real need to have a 
consistent snapshot of all the filesystems at one point in time you'll probably 
need support from the target filesystems to do the snapshot locally (LVM, VSS, 
zfs, etc.) and let backuppc back up the snapshots.

rules translate into the virtual world?
