[BackupPC-users] Server reboots nightly

2009-02-06 Thread Chris Baker

2009-02-06 Thread Matthias Meyer
I use rsyncd to backup my (Windows) clients. The first backup of each client needs a really long time. Would it be faster if I use smb or tar for the initial backup? Is it possible to switch back to rsyncd after this initial backup? Would I maintained all the benefits of rsyncd starting with the
