Our CPU usage is actually very low while doing backups. I just found it pretty surprising how much bandwidth a supposedly incremental backup system was. So I am not sure if it had to do with the fact the machines mounted special area's on the backup machine and it had trouble checking modified time I do not know. I also have no doubt your software would not come close to the amount of traffic our current system is using. On a side note: We've now had several companies contact us now trying to sell their software or services. While I appreciate their attempt to sell us services we're not particularly interested. All I'm curious about is how so many people found this blog post in such a short amount of time. Of course the graph on that page is of CPU usage not bandwidth.

This problem can probably only be fixed by using special backup software. The amount of bandwidth being used would not be fixed by using F T P.
