I don't (yet) do backups in parallel, although it's on my todo list.
However, you can greatly simplify your script. You had:
SRV=(server1 server2)
i=${#SRV[*]}
set $((i--))
# Loop through the array and backup each server
while [ "$i" -gt -1 ]
do
echo "Beginning backup of ${SRV[$i]}"
$RDIFF --exclude-globbing-filelist $EX --include-globbing-filelist $IN
--exclude / ${SRV[$i]}-backup::/ $BK_DIR/${SRV[$i]} &
set $((i--))
done
How about:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SRV="server1 server2"
for SERVER in SRV
do
echo "Beginning backup of $SERVER"
$RDIFF ...qualifiers... ${SERVER}-backup::/ $BK_DIR/$SERVER &
done
-----------------------------------------------------------------
