I've been having problems with nightly backups overrunning. Having looked at system resources, I saw that CPU use was the limiting factor.
As I understand it (which may well be wrong), when using rsync, the backed up data is compressed using gzip (with alternatives only being available for 'archive' function).
Would changing the binary location from /usr/bin/gzip to /bin/pigz mean that it started using multicore for rsync dumps?
