Since the beginning, MaxBackups was set on my servers to be equal to number of processors in the backup server. This way, I ensure that the load isn't so high that it makes the kernel spend too much time in scheduling (or this is the idilic interpretation that I give to my choice), especially given that quite a bit of processor cycles have to be spent in managing the disk io (and I also use raid and lvm on the backup partition). I never had too much overload trouble. Backup_nightly starts to get a bit annoyingly longish, but it's manageable for now. -- Cristian Tibirna (1-418-) 656-2131 / 4340 Laval University - Quebec, CAN ... http://www.giref.ulaval.ca/~ctibirna Research professional at GIREF ...
