Look into the remote-schema option, search around for rdiff-backup and netcat,
and there are ssh cipher options.
I found an article
http://osdir.com/ml/sysutils.backup.rdiff-backup.general/2006-02/msg00088.html
I read about --remote.schema but, honestly, I didn't digested it so well.
Could you please tell me if in the point 2 of the article, ssh is
involved or not?
Most of all, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have a central
backup server that contact windows and linux clients to back up their
data.
You can certainly do this with a package such as (for Windows) TimeDicer
http://www.timedicer.co.uk. This uses rdiff-backup with ssh connection
managed by plink. But this is for 'push' backups - the clients contact
the server and send backups. Works well with a primary server on the
local network, and offsite mirror server for belt'n'braces protection.
