Can e.g. BackupPC handle several file systems to backup to? I.e. comp1 through 10 should backup to /bak1, comp 11 through 20 to /bak2 and so on.
The main point of backuppc is that it hard-links all files with identical content to save space, so it needs to put everything on one filesystem. However, I'm getting pretty good performance running it

No, rsync will only hardlink to instances of the same file in the same location from previous runs. Backuppc will link every file with
<snip> True. But we have a directory structure like .../servername | -> date-weeks-ago date-weeks-ago-1 ... date-yesterday |-> (symlink) latest and the symlink gets reset after the backup's done.
