Hey all together out there, I understand the documentation in a way that rdiff-backup only operates in a bandwidth efficient manner if a remote machine is involved. Am I right on this one or not?
Why I am asking: I have a virtual private network (VPN) connecting two networks over the internet (office network and home network). Both networks consist of Windows XP machines only. I have a shared drive on one of the PCs in the home network mapped as a network drive (drive letter x:/) on one of the PCs in the office network. The question is: Does rdiff-backup works less efficient if I run the program like this: rdiff-backup d:/some/folder/on/office/network/computer x:/the/mapped/network/drive/which/is/actually/remote Compared to this command line: rdiff-backup d:/some/folder/on/office/network/computer 192.167.xxx.xxx::some/folder/remote Or does rdiff-backup make no difference? If rdiff-backup does make a difference do I have to install a SSH service? Or is SSH only needed if files are backed up from Windows to Linux? Thanks for your help Amely P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
