by all means, try it. But it's not the file list that is the specific problem of BackupPC. > I used it at one company to do nightly > syncs of their ~4TB backuppc pool offsite. It's still a matter of file count (used inodes, to be exact), not pool storage size. rsync V3 may perform significantly better if you have many links to comparatively few inodes, but if you have many inodes (for some unknown value of "many"), I am still convinced that you will hit a problem. Feel free to convince me otherwise, but "works for me" is unlikely to succeed ;-).
