I might point out that if you rsync between two windows machine using the
same version of cwrsync or deltacopy(which is basically still cwrsync but a
different version) the transfer speeds are higher but not anywhere near a
smb transfer.
One solution might be to create a shadow copy, then explorer using net use
to share that copy and have backuppc hit the shadow copy over smb. you will
loose the bennies of rsync but if you are saving 50% at the expense of 75%
then you have a net loss.
I have given in and worked around this issue in a different way. I use
cobian9 and pull a backup and send it up to backuppc via FTP. I then have a
script that syncs the directory over my base directory as a pre-backup
script and backup that folder (then delete the backup from cobian). It uses
extra space on the server but solved all of my issues. cobian does VSS
backups and incrementals. rsync does the heavy lifting on the server side
and it works well with the incremental filesets. it was not planned but I
have the files from cobian on a different disk than the backupc backups so
the performance in backuppc is pretty good. This does not handle ACL or
permissions but for laptop users they dont need any of that anyway, its just
their Docs&Settings folder.
