I've been reading the documentation for BackupPC and it seems that the only 
way to use rsync is to have the BackupPC server initiate the conections with 
the clients (which from my point of view is a bit of a security issue).

In my case I would be interested in having the client initiate the conection 
instead of being the server that does so (I undertand that in that way 
BackupPC will lose some of its usefulness as a centrally managed backup 
system)

Is it possible to initiate the rsync backup from the client and being able 
to take advantage of BackupPC for ensuring that checksums in the server side 
don't take as much CPU, ... etc?

Thanks
Oriol
