Hello Jonathan, I could be wrong about this, but i believe that BackupPC_dump does not dump on an rsync process. For Smb and Tar transactions, BackupPC forks of separate processes to manage the file transfer and the poolwriting (BackupPC_tarExtract) in a streaming fashion, but these actions are tied together in an rsync/rsyncd transaction, so there is no need to fork.
Furthermore, the actual network code is stored in BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync, along with a couple other modules. These should be in /usr/local/BackupPC/Xfer/ by default, but could be placed elsewhere if you installed from a package.
