It doesn't matter where you run it from, dirvish looks in /etc/dirvish/master.conf for the bank locations and searches those for the specified vault. (Can be more than one bank! The first vault found thusly is used, I use this to rotate between two backup disks: on even days one is mounted, on uneven days the other one is mounted, each on their own mountpoint /backup/0 or /backup/1) And of course as you're running dirvish commands, you're running the init command on the backup server -- you don't need anything dirvish on the to-be-backupped systems, only rsync. > > 2.)

In the config, I would assume?
