I will increase
MaxBackups and MaxUserBackups from 2 to 6
to see if it makes any difference.
MaxBackups is the number that will be scheduled to run concurrently;
MaxUserBackups controls what you can start manually.  The optimal
value will depend very much on your hardware.  Often running 2
concurrently will complete the whole set faster than 6 due to less
disk head and RAM contention.

Just to make this clearer, 2 is probably the right value, maybe 3 or 4, 
but probably not as high as 6, unless the machines you are backing up 
are on the end of very slow links, and/or your backuppc server is 
extremely fast (disk IO, and RAM).

mmm, depends.  6 concurrent full backups will probably be too many, but 6 concurrent incrementals
probably aren't. Incrementals are limited by the speed of the tree walk on the client's disk,
looking for files to back up.  Unless htere are a lot of changes, this won't stress the server.
