Hi Patric,

Try this method:

- make a "buffer" from linux:
rsync -avP --delete-after usr@freebsd:/path/to/home /buffer/freebsd/.

- do the dirvish incremental backup

i think, there will be no problem with "simple" rsync from freebsd
2nd note, a user also have cron privilege on freebsd so the 1st step could
be (from freebsd):
rsync -avP --delete-after /home/on/freebsd user(or root)@linux:/buffer/.
