Use multiple Baculas - like say 6 - each running 20 jobs. Faster and > maybe not simpler. Not really faster unless you are talking about 6 servers each with their own autoloader. > d. I'm not going to mention Bittorrent cuz I've not tried it. bittorrent is not a backup solution. It would be horrible at that. Its a solution to distribute multiple copies of the same large file to many users around the world. I highly doubt someone would want to send their backups all over the world. Also I doubt that users would want to download and store my backups for me on their systems all over the world.
