Are you backing up a single host or are there multiple hosts?

If you are backing up multiple hosts, you may benefit from lowering the 
number of simultaneous backups.

If it is a single host, you might want to split it into multiple hosts 
each backing up a certain set of directories.  This may have already 
been suggested...  I don't have access to the full thread history.
