Sorin, with your setup, VLANs don't seem out of the question.
In another case, I seem to be figuring out more and more why my machines are
taking so long, Windows and Linux ones included. This PC started backing up
over 8 hours ago. I looked at the PID, nothing. I looked at the Xfer PID,
here's what I found:

I noticed last night something else that seems an issue. While Rsync should be
faster because it doesn't have to download files, it also seems to check all
the previous backups for that file on that host. As you might be able to tell,
it's searching through at least 40 incrementals here all with increasing
sequential level numbers. Still, that shouldn't be so bad, but each incremental
I add, it's getting easier and easier to figure out why the times have
increased.
While I didn't say this in my first post, I used to have full backups on a lot
of machines happen frequently, like weekly or every other week. With those
machines only being based on just a few incrementals most of the time, it left
a lot of laptops free to be backed up during the day using all of the available
bandwidth on the machine and only needing a new full ever 30-60 days or so.
That tied with my move to Rsyncd could very possibly have caused some of these
slowdown issues for both Windows and Linux hosts.
