I wonder if your network isn't your backup speed bottleneck. inparallel isn't dependent on the number or features of your processor, though. I have it set to eight on a backup server with a single core 500 Mhz AMD Geode chipset, probably the world's feeblest Amanda server. I suspect the limit is disk and/or memory. I think you can use "netusage" per DLE to throttle individual DLEs. I haven't tried it, though. If so you can crank up inparallel all you want. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
