I have my /var/lib/BackupPC stored on a drbd device. The counterpart
server is located through a WiFi connection in a different building.

And yes, it's slow. I have very high I/O waits on my BackupPC server
while it's connected and in sync.

So I usually disconnect (by cron) when a BackupPC task is scheduled to
run. And during daytime (when no backup is running) I reconnect and the
re-sync of the device begins.

Well, not perfect and obviously does not protect from all types of
failures but it helps. Maybe I'll create a LVM snapshot on the remote
server...

Any special questions you're looking at?

Greetings

Christian
