Thanks for the details Matthias. I was wondering if one of you could confirm something else for me. We've been testing BackupPC for the last few months. The local backup server is up and running great and we're getting ready to put up an offsite backup server for redundancy and offsite security. Up to this point, I've assumed I wouldn't be able to roll PSTs into the backups because they'd be too large to send over the limited bandwidth every night and that they'd take too much space in the pool. From what Matthias has said, it looks like as long as we have the initial backup, subsequent backups shouldn't take nearly as long since rsync is sending changes only. Can I also take from this that BackupPC won't be storing full copies for every backup? i.e. If the user has a 1 GB pst and adds one message of 2k, the pool requirements are only 1 GB + 2k, not 2 GB + 2k?
