I've googled enough to find out that rdiff at least in some circumstances uses
rsync to minimize communication bandwidth.
My question is this: if rdiff-backup is backing up to a disk (internal or
external) on the machine being backed up, does it continue to use rsync?
When working over a network link, rdiff-backup works in a manner _like_ rsync.
It doesn't actually use the rsync program. When backing up to a local disk, it
of course accesses the disk directly.
OK, I suppose if you really wanted to simulate networked operation when working
locally you could run:
rdiff-backup backup {source directory} localhost::{archive directory}
