I think it depends if 'rrsync' needs to run on the client or server sides. - If it runs on the (remote) client side and is compatible with backuppc protocols then it may work. - If it runs on the (local) server side then there is no hope for it to work as backuppc uses its own patched version of rsync, called rsync-bpc. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
