Rysnc over ssh will have some additional load for encryption - but you can minimize that by using blowfish. If you don't need encryption, the choice should be more about which you'd rather set up and whether you'd use ssh for anything else. In older versions of the windows/cygwin ports of ssh and rsync there was a bug that would make it hang at random when rsync was started by sshd, but that is fixed in the current (1.7.x) versions. It's probably easier to set up a standalone rsyncd on windows, but with ssh you can mix/match windows and linux without much regard for the differences. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
