Just to echo Les, in many if not most modern run-of-the-mill setups,
LAN bandwidth is a bigger constraint than server processing
power. Reading and writing backups to a remote file server will
substantially increase bandwidth requirements -- at least 2X on
initial backups, and many times more on incrementals if using rsync.
