Most likely this is a limitation of bandwidth, CPU, or memory on either
the backuppc server, or the machine being backed up.

Have you enabled checksum-seed in your config?
Are you even using rsync?

Remember a full backup will read the full content of every file (talking
about rsync because I will assume that is what you are using) on both
the client and backuppc server. A incremental only looks at file
attributes such as size and timestamp.

Can you be more detailed about your configuration, and during a full
backup look at memory utilisation on both backuppc server and the client.

PS, this question is asked regularly, so you should also look at the
archives to see the previous discussions (which have been very detailed,
and sometimes heated).

Adam
