WOW. Thanks, guys. You've given me lots to chew on. As for not
being able to throttle in-bound connections, I had that realization
while taking a walk today. But then I asked myself: couldn't you just
slow down ACKs to the remote host? Or does the fact that TCP can re-
order out-of-sequence packets make that moot?

Regardless, again, thanks!

Don't forget in the tc/iptables interface that iptables can also be
configured to classify based on other things such as process group or user
ID. If your backup process is run as its own user ID, then you have a
unique way of identifying it.
