OpenVPN is a good solution, I am using it for the sole purpose of rsyncd backups between the US and Australia. Turning on compression (comp-lzo option) has also reduced backup times and bandwidth requirements by about 50% since the rsyncd client in BackupPC doesn't support rsync compression. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
