Hello,

I am not sure I am getting the "SSH Backend" Tips&Tricks here: 
http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/tips.html

Currently I am doing the following:
* mount a S3 storage on a server to /mnt/s3ql
* use sshfs on several workstations to bind that server's /mnt/s3ql into 
the local filesystem
* happily use the storage in the cloud (in S3) from multiple workstations

The Tips&Tricks shows what I do somehow in the reverse order (first mount 
sshfs and then mount s3ql on the client (it seems):

> mount.s3ql local:///mnt/sshfs/myfsdata /mnt/s3ql

Why should I care about the local:/// backend?

Is this for cases where I do not care about the S3 storage backend at all, 
but where I care about data de-duplication and other s3ql features and the 
storage is in some (unspecified) file system?

Best,
Peter
