This is not a solution at all, because Bacula every time you create new backup will create new virtual tapes, and since rsync deduplicate only files, not entire amount of data that is going to be transfared, this do not solve anything for us. Acctually I am not even sure if we would use LVM

You can throttle rsync with --bwlimit, unless you would need to use the entire bandwidth to finish in your time window. Mike Eggleston wrote: On Thu, 15 Oct 2009, John Drescher might have said: I'm using bacula for servers but the problem is that both servers and where bacula runs are
