However, the main question: The backups over the cable are obviously > faster,
How much faster? In my experience, the backups are more limited by disk speed and cpu power than network. But I'm connected to the server via either AC wifi or wired gigabit, so YMMV. Be careful that the FIRST backup is always slow because of the full backup network transfer, but afterwards network use should be minimal for a slowly changing backup. but for incrementals, it is not that big issue. Are you sure? On V4 using rsync (recommended on Linux) the only difference between incrementals and fulls is the way the file changes are checked. There shouldn't be big transfer differences unless you have big files that change checksum but not size or modification time (wich is the usual case for encrypted containers). Cheers, Guillermo
