Hi,
I don't use Windows myself, but would it be possible to link the backup
to the computer shutdown, so that when a user turns off the computer, it
first performs the backup and then shuts down?
Would it be reasonable to do the backups during lunch, using backuppc's
blackout periods?
There may be other solutions, outside the scope of backuppc, like
traffic shaping and throttling processes.
Cheers,
Paulo
