btw, compression happens in the ssh process. By default rdiff-backup adds -C to the ssh call. this is controlled with the rdiff-backup --ssh-no-compression switch. Of course if you use --remote-schema you are overriding the ssh call anyway. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
