Hello !
while thinking about (and digging into) how rdiff-backup is working
internally, i wonder a little bit about rdiff-backup being needed at the
remote end.
wouldn`t rsync(d) be sufficient for this (in theory) ?
i`m asking this, because it's a lot easier and more "lightweight" to install
rsync(d) on the clients you need to backup.
regarding "what's being transferred over the wire or being done at the
remote end" - can someone explain the difference between rdiff-backup and
rsync and give a comment about possible replacement of rdiff-backup with
rsync(d) ?
regards
roland
ps:
actually, i even have one machine i need to rsync first to a local directory
and rdiff-backup from that, because i'm not allowed to install python on
that machine. so this takes twice the space on my backup machine.
