Hi Les,
no it is not related to ressources (almost I do not think it is).
The container has 20GB allowed in RAM and 6 cores and rsync is not a
parallel/threaded application
-> running 3 backup at this time,
-> load average: 4,13, 3,84, 2,80 (so it is < 6)
-> Memory use is low:
KiB Mem : 20971520 total, 11553648 free, 632412 used, 8785460 buff/cache
KiB Swap: 4194304 total, 4089176 free, 105128 used. 11553648 avail Mem
About the laptop with the large folder to backup, iftop show very few
transferts so I suppose backuppc is doing something else. My rsync
manual test show I can reach sufficient bandwidth on the network (laptop
is cionnected with 1Gb ethernet and the Container has a 10Gb ethernet
access to the switch so 3 backups in parallel should not be a problem)

some clients have no valid backups for months.
First guess would be that your container is short on RAM and having to
swap to work at all.
