Hello Hendrik,
rsync v3.0 does offer a lot of good features that will affect performance,
but it is not usable out of the box. BackupPC has its own implementation of
the rsync algorithm, the File::RsyncP module on CPAN. In order for us to
get the benefits of this update, File::Rsync needs to be updated.
I think this would be a fun project, and am planning on working on it in the
near future. If anyone else wants to contribute, please contact me.
