Package: backuppc Version: 2.1.2-6 Severity: wishlist This wish should also apply to Version 3.0.0-3: There is no probability setting the nice value for the backuppc daemon itself. With a nice value of 0, the other user processes are running very slow during a backup or cleanup process. A (dirty) resolve could be the following patch. Better would be the use of a /etc/defaults/backuppc file.
