So you would: . snapshot source . rsync to snapshot to backup medium . snapshot backup medium right? I think I could do that too, if send/receive does turn out to be broken. The send is just _so_ much faster it would be a shame not to stick with it. Although if I was backing up to an external location where network bandwidth was my biggest constraint then the performance of rsync would be less of a problem.
