Too slow, it takes from 5pm to 6am to do the backups now, timing is
everything because there are only so many hours in the day where each
machine is running at a level low enough that the backup won't be noticed.
I can only have 1 machine per segment being backed up at a time or I end up
sucking up too much bandwidth on that segment. I actually have to use a
spreadsheet to work out the schedule and any time I change something I have
to rebalance everything and make sure I didn't just cause an overlap.

Adding a vpn setup to that would be a disaster.
