Hello,

Until now I was backing up my servers with BackupPC, everything was
fine, powerful machines, backup at night, life is beautiful.

Today I started to backup my users Windows computer via Rsyncd and
complaints started to arrive. Less powerful machines starting to get
old, machines getting slow, could not work correctly, Internet slow,
etc... life was so great.

So, I'm looking for a solution for backups not to impact my users. One
one the problem is that computers are usually off at night. I can limit
the bandwidth via rsync parameters but what about the transfer duration?
Maybe use wake on lan? But I'll have to configure each computer and shut
them off after the backup, not even talking of computers not supporting
WoL.

What are your solutions for backups to have less impact as possible on
users?
