for a long time there was an issue with using rsync as the transport,
since hard links would not be preserved in the backups. i believe this
is fixed now -- can someone remind me in which release the fix appeared?
(i'm running 3.0.0.)
i've been using tar for all of my machines because of this, and i think
i'd like to switch to rsync. are there any caveats re: switching from
one to the other for a client with lots of existing backups? any tuning
of the rsync commandline, for instance?
currently i'm using this for all clients:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = \
'$sshPath -x -q -n -l root $host $tarPath \
--one-file-system -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
i just don't want to screw something up when i switch over. (i'll start
with a less important client, in any case. :-)
