remote system (or its lan) and then rsync the resulting repository to your
laptop, or rsync the data from remote to your laptop and then use
rdiff-backup locally on your laptop. I do the former.


Thank you, I didn't realize that was a best practice.  Is this
documented anywhere?



This might be a good idea, but FYI I currently run a nightly over 
Internet without any issues.


The machine running the client (ssh connect) has this ssh config:


cat ~/.ssh/config
ServerAliveInterval 5

Seems like a good tip, I suppose you could combine it with setting
on the other machine:
ClientAliveInterval 5

Certainly an easier way for OP to solve his problem, if it works
okay. I'd be interested to know if it does...

Got following error, I am not familiar with troubleshooting with
rdiff-backup, can anyone suggest some way for me to troubleshoot ?

Thanks in advance.
