I ran bacula and it backed up this ENTIRE client in like 7 minutes. After 40 
minutes, backuppc has only backed up a measly 300MB... of a total of 1.5GB. I 
am not even sure how much aready was in-use on the partition after creating the 
new partition.

root@backuppc:~# df -h

How can I decrease load? Can I disable deduplication or compression? The load 
is very high. This back-up server (virtual machine) has a powerful processor, 
although only 1GB memory (that is not fully used). Even running this simple 1 
job is very very slow.  See http://images.codepad.eu/v-ISmSn6.png for high cpu 
usage.  

Last time this back-up ran succesfully for the entire server (1.7GB) it took 
more than 12 hours (after which I manually canceled the back-up). This back-up 
job ran in 7 minutes(!) on Bacula. I however would prefer to use BackupPC in 
the future and I hope people can help me getting decent performance.
