Ah, okay. In that case I would probably initiate rdiff-backup on B
with cron, and use a script like this (untested!):
On B:
#!/bin/sh
rdiff-backup \
--print-statistics \
C::/ /m/C 2>&1 | ssh A 'cat - >> /var/log/rdiff-backup.log'
And in B's crontab:
30 3 * * * lockf -s -t 0 /var/run/rdiff-backup.lock
/usr/local/whatever/rdiff_backup_daily.sh
The lockf(1) call is to prevent accidental overlap on long running
backups. Perhaps your backups are fast and you don't need that.
