Not if you use rsnapshot.
Memory use in rsync scales linearly with the number of files being synced. Hence, any backup app that's calls rsync on large trees will hit this limitation and die a horrible death. I hit this limit on a 300GB fs with ~160k files and 512MB RAM. My data grew, and my backups simply stopped working! Scary!! rdiff-backup however, does not suffer from this problem. And it's a bit more space efficient than rsnapshot as well. Give it a shot and I doubt you'll be disappointed. - Raja
