Erm! Yes well...
Well... On the PC side I'm not using RPCEmu, I use VRPC-AdjustSA (RO 6.20)
(Some way to go before I would trust my business stuff to RPCEmu and I do
still have RPCEmu networking issues).

I tend to do the backup work when I'm doing Paper and Pen work at my desk,
so not bothered by machines being busy.

I have VRPC running full screen and using DirSync and a configured Hotlist
on the VRPC, pull from the SARPC to the PC VRPC using ShareFS.

As I have to do it, I've not bothered to time the process but it appears
to go reasonably speedily.

Impossible to say how much is backed as only things changed on the SARPC
are backed by DirSync.
