Rob, you use rsync with SSH ? Between Linux clients and server or between
windows client and a linux server ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Romain

I agree. Although I don't have any experience using tar or smb with
BackupPC, rsync just makes sense. I back up over the internet, which
would be basically impossible for me to do using tar or smb, since they
require periodic full transfers. Rsync's "full backups" still only
transfer the changes in files.
I use rync over ssh to backup Linux boxes, and rsyncd to backup Windows
boxes. I've very happy with it.
