The backup is very big.

Yes, this can be a solution. But the blocklevel mounting through the tunnel is - because rectreating the tunnel round about every 12 hours not the best solution. It also breakes sometimes (because of internet problems) and therefore it is not stable enough. > Even ZFS or btrfs snapshot transfers are possible, but those filesystems > are perhaps not as optimal for BackupPC, and that is another topic on > its own. yes, also another topic: I use zfs.

What is the different to v4?
