I think (I didn't yet have to try it) you can get the same result with a
different approach: Create one server with many shares to back up. At least one
share per filesystem (add --one-filesystem to the rsync parameters) and more
shares for different subdirs on big filesystems.
Then the problem of rsync eating lots of memory should go away as each share
is backed up independ but all will be done in the same run. And you get once
nice filesystem-tree in the backuppc-gui.
Have fun,
