I got the impression that this problem may have been fixed in a newer version of backuppc, would upgrading help? I'll try reconfiguring backuppc to do rsyncd instead of rsync if not. Thanks, Jim On 12/12/06, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 12/11 09:43 , Jim McNamara wrote:

Is there any advantage to using rsync for a localhost backup, or will tar be just as good or better. I have heard that tar is faster than rsync and because there is no network traffic involved it might be better to minimize cpu overhead and use tar.
