Hello, is there an easy way to parallelize the rsync operations on the host to beckup?
Here's my problem: the host I need to back up has a /home of about 300Gb full of really small files (10 millions maybe). Each scan of the file system takes a really long time. The storage I use for it, though, is quite fast and has a lot of disks, thus parallelizing the operations (say, 1 rsync for each user under /home/* and 10 parallel threads) would ideally shorten the scan time by a factor of 10 given a powerful enough backup server. I know I could create several backuppc "hosts" all pointing to the same hostname, and one backs up a subset of users, but maybe there's some other parameter I could use. Regards, -- .a.c.
