Exactly what I meant by "suck in different ways including those we don't know
yet". I think we have a couple of "low-cost options". As we discussed on the
rsnapshot list, you could use the remote shell option to create a bandwidth
limited remote shell. It's crude, it costs extra because of all the data
copying but it should be a relatively cheap way to assess whether or not bwlimit
modifications would be worthwhile.
