Hi Martin,

I had a similar issue here with a remote site where I have a couple of
hosts to backup. Only one host at a time should be backuped as otherwise
the slow remote connection will be congested.

What I did was to reduce (or raise?) the ping timeout time. As BackupPC
tries to ping the destination hosts before attempting to back up I know
the ping times to the remote office go up to (let's say) 2,000ms instead
of the default ~100ms.
So BackupPC now pings one remote host, notice a good ping and starts to
backup this guy. Then it attempts to backup a second host on the remote
office, but as the ping time is above 1,500ms this guy is not backed up
and I have only a single host backed up from the remote office.

In parallel it's backing up the local hosts without any issues.

Greetings

Christian
