Backup gzip is killing machine

Is there a way I can have the backup use ionice and nice when gzipping the LVM snapshots? I have the backup set to do one at a time but the system can't handle the IO load from gzip.

Howdy -- there's a few settings you can tune regarding that in Webmin -> Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Advanced Options.

From there, check out the "CPU priority for scheduled jobs", "IO class for scheduled jobs", and "IO priority for scheduled jobs" options.

Thanks, that took care of it.
