100% sure that the precomressed file will transfer in substantially less time. also consider that rsync will have to transfer and whole file, not just parts of it. rsync transfers all files that have changed and it has to transfer the whole file becuase rsync does not do any kind of 'diff' betwee

if the concern is network bandwidth, compress the sql dump first so backuppc transfers a compressed and theirfore smaller file accross the network. that would use the least bandwidth. good luck :) On 10/15/07, Toni Van Remortel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a lot of remote servers
