You can throttle rsync with --bwlimit, unless you would need to use the
entire bandwidth to finish in your time window.

I'm using bacula for servers but the problem is that both servers and where

bacula runs are on the same room. I'd like to know how to implement a

duplication of the data bacula stores in order to put a copy on another

location (via internet). Of course it is not possible to copy simply the

backup file because it is too big.

One suggestion. Make the volumes smaller. 1 to 10GB should be fine.

Then use rsync (possibly run from a cron job) to send the volumes

offsite.

My bacula setup is pulling the remote files to on disk volumes that

are 5GB each. I have a final job that looks for what disk volumes have

changed from the previous backup and writes those volumes to tape.

I could use rsync(1) to copy the 5GB volumes to another server and did

consider copying those disk volumes over the net to a remote location. I

decided against this approach as the rsync(1) would consume my entire

bandwidth. Not a bad solution for incrementals, but not good for fulls.
