Sound very interesting indeed!
I don't think the performance will be a problem, the server's a calculation machine that has now been scrapped running a dual-xeon@2,something GHz and some 4GB RAM IIRC. Do you think the software-raid5 array used, would be a problem in this case?
I've never had any problems with software raid5 in linux before, but you never know...
The reason I really like BackupPC is the compression you can get. It really helps me out since I have a smaller dedicated backup server. For my instance, since I have a dedicated server, I'd trade performance for the space compression saves me.

I'll look into Backuppc as the primary solution for our linux-group. Just need to find a space to put this dual-xeon, it's very loud, as I need it handy while trying this out.
Thanks for the info.
