Hi everyone,

I am a rdiff-backup newbie. Does rdiff-backup support protocols like
FTP to fetch files?

Hi Devraj,
you can do some tricky things with the remote-schema stuff, but the problem is that rdiff-backup expects an rdiff-backup server to be at the other end of a pipe (of some sort). So things like netcat can work, and of course ssh by default, but ftp is not a pipe. Duplicity can do this, or you could figure out some tricky filesystem stuff with fuse or libferris. For the most part, rdiff-backup has to be at each end whether push or pull.
