A hunerd-n-twenty jobs makes me wince. Why not simplify...a couple of ideas
and feel free to knock them down:
a. I HATE NFS - so I'm not mentioning it as a solution
b. rsync all /etc's into a central location and back that up. This would
provide a much faster backup scenario because the rsync's can be in
parallel. It is also simpler. Restoring will be a two-step process and I can
see where that could be a problem time wise if you restore big chunks.
c. Use multiple Baculas - like say 6 - each running 20 jobs. Faster and
maybe not simpler.
d. I'm not going to mention Bittorrent cuz I've not tried it.
I like 'b'
