I use backuppc on a Debian Linux 5.0 server for backing up another Debian Linux 5.0 server over the internet with tar over ssh. The first full backup is created succesfully but the incremental backups alway make full backup. What could be the reason of this? Are you going by the backup

[BackupPC-users] What's the best place to add 'nice' to backups?

Given that my home server is a bit underpowered and used for other things, I would like to nice backups to run at lower priority. Is the best place just to prepend 'nice -n' to the beginning of $Conf{RsyncClientCmd}? (assuming I am using rsync method). More generally, it might be a nice feature
