The price is right for the software and you'll use a lot less disk
space than other methods (with the big plus of instant access to
single files or directories), so consider that you could divide the
backups into two or more groups handled by different servers if you
run into trouble with just one. It will help if the server has a lot
of ram, and if you back up the virtual machines like individual hosts
instead of their image files. Likewise you'll probably need to
interact with the database servers with commands backuppc can send to
get dumps that won't change during the copy.
