I'm currently backing up a Windows machine using rsyncd across a WAN (VPN over T1s). The files I'm backing up are large, but they are fairly compressible. Being able to compress the data across the wire would speed up backups and reduce bandwidth utilization by at least 2x.
Because backuppc doesn't support rsyncd compression, the other alternatives I see are to figure out a way to precompress the files before backup, or perhaps to setup a ssh server on the Windows machine and backup that way. Anyone have any other ideas? -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
