First of all, thanks for all who replied. It is the end of semester here, and I didn't have time (until now) to read all the posts.
I have to admit, I made a newbie mistake when posting this message. I forgot to mention that I have Apache with SSL running. Thus, what I decided to do, was to create tar.bz2 files of backups, link them to an Apache directory, and download them from the machine that would receive the backup files. I feel this way I have to install no new software, gets the job done and let Apache take care of security. I do, however, intend to test rdiff-backup later. ;) Thanks again for the attention, Raphael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
