Hi I have just started to use rdiff-backup and currently I am backup a mounted cifs directory on a linux box (box A), it also rdiff-backups to another box in the same location (at the same time ?) and also sends it to 2 other locations via vpns
my problem is that the vpn links are slow (over the internet) and my backup window gets very small... so I thought instead of rdiff-backup to the off site locations, I could say rsync --delete local rdiff-backup directory offsite to the other 2 sites. if need arises I could rdiff-backup restore directly from the other sites. Would that work ? Also my backup data size is around 800M roughly actually compresses down to about 166m - I used to tar gzip the directory up and then send the gz's off location, but I am in the process of moving towards backupninja and rdiff-backup to handle my backup needs. I presume by using --remote-schema "ssh -C %s .... " I am getting the same sort of compression ratio ? Thanks Alex Samad
