Question (Quoted): How do you configure your clients to make sure that not all 250 clients are being backed up at the same time, IE how are you distributing the load? Answer: The server is configurable to run a maximum number of concurrent backups. Each client can have a different Blackout Schedule (jobs won't run on the host during the specified timeframe) to ensure certain hosts are only backed up at specific times. If backing up *nix machines via rsync one can 'nice' the backup process so that it only runs while the machine has available cycles. Using 'nice' is so effective my company can backup web servers during the day without any noticeable performance degradation. To nice a backup job use this for RsyncClientCmd: $sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host nice -n 10 /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+ Ryan Manikowski System Administrator 2ergo Americas Inc. :703.677.8499: www.2ergo.com Arlington, VA This message (including attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
