Please be aware that rdiff-backup connecting to rdiff-backup uses the

this is more a question than an affirmation because I do not know
anything about the rdiff's mecanisms, but so far I know :
* with a client/serveur configuration only the files infos and diffs
go throw the ssh tunnel.
* If you mount your partition (or sshfs mount if you want) every
file access will go on the network, which is more slower because
using more network ressources.
Am I completly wrong ? If yes tell me, it were effectivly more easier to
mount everything on the backup server :)
I can see that the added traffic of the directory searches might make
the method slower, but I found this
http://www.howtoforge.com/sshfs_rdiff_backup which says the sshfs method
is a little faster. Even if sshfs were a little slower, I'd take the
hit for the simplicity of not having a client to maintain.
