For no apparent reason.
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} has no effect on how much of a client's
directory tree is backed up on each backup run; that's for something
totally different.
bandwidth isn't the problem; disk access is.

Why not just make backuppc take a week or so to traverse the entire pool
using $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 7 or similar? Also you can use the
rsync option to limit bandwidth so it won't kill their outbound connections
using the --bwlimit=XX where XX is the speed in kB/sec to limit to.

A customer we're backing up has a directory with ~500 subdirs and
hundreds of GiB of data. We're using BackupPC in rsync+ssh mode.
As a first pass at breaking that up, I made a bunch of seperate host
entries like /A/*0, /A/*1, ... (all the dirs have numeric names).
That seems to select the righ
Once again, the issue of the giant pre-3.0 rsyncs that backuppc
causes to form has come up, but this time I'm being paid to fix it,
more or less.
If I'm backing up data that I'm sure doesn't have internal hard
links (or I'm sure I don't care), is there any problem with having
backuppc simply spaw
