mmm, true I think, you should use raid or (better IMHO) a secondary backup
(use rsync).
Is there a reason why you recommend rsync for that? If I understood
the project description correctly, rdiff-backup should work just fine
for remote backups.
The reason I use rsync for the secondary backup is that I just want a
mirror of the data on the first (rdiff-backup) backup machine -
including (and especially) all the rdiff-backup archives. Doing an
rdiff-backup of an rdiff-backup archive would seem too much of a good
thing. Or maybe I just can't get my head around it.
