If using it in a local network, I would recommend communicating via an rsync daemon, not via ssh. ssh can add significant overhead if CPU is
already limited.

so, Ok. But could you add some tips with this? I understand that:

ris --> install rsync daemon

install *and* configure :-)

Here's an example module definition. It has to use the uid of root so that everything is readable. Here's an example from a Gentoo box. Yes, the excludes could be done `client-side' as well, that is on the backup server in master.conf or vault/dirvish/default.conf.

[backup]
    uid = root
    gid = root
    path = /
exclude = /tmp/* /var/tmp/* /var/log/* /var/cache/* /mnt/* /proc/ * /sys/* /usr/portage/* /dev/*
    hosts allow = IP_OF_ULISES
    secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.backup.secrets
    auth users = root
    list = false
