This is the time when the back-up cron job runs, so that is almost 
certainly what is slowing things down.  As far as I know, it's already 
running with 'nice' (with no priority argument), but perhaps it a lower 
priority would be a good idea?  The job already takes hours to complete. :-(

I'd also like to add that I've used these backups at least once so far, 
which justifies their existence to me.  I/we still need to figure out 
how to adjust our cron config to let a local NFS server/client 
connection work, to present the backups to users.  Does anyone happen to 
know what firewall rules we'd need for this?
