For encryption, one could do something like encfs (perhaps over sshfs). That's pretty cool. There's a win for deduplication at the rdiff-backup level, though, because you can tranfer over the wire _after_ deduplication. One could of course rdiff-backup to a target deduplication filsystem, sync or snapshot that filesystem, and rsync the underlying store, but that has its own disadvantages. -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
