Hey,

I just want to make sure I don't do anything wrong. I have a remote (over
100Mbps LAN) machine with Windows XP and NTFS. My desktop is Linux with ext3
and this is how I do my backup:

First, I created a 80GB file on NTFS, crypted it with LUKS and did
mkfs.ext3. I shared this big file over SMB.

Now, when I want to do the backup, I mount SMB, then LUKSopen that big file,
mount it as ext3 and perform rdiff-backup.

Is this idea (ext3 in a file shared over SMB) efficient? Is there any better
way?

Greetings,
Mateusz
