rdiff-backup memory problems

Hi list. I've posted this problem to a few other lists over the past few days (rdiff-backup, my local LUG), but I haven't had a reply yet, so I thought I'd try here. Short version: rdiff-backup is using 2 GB of memory (1 GB RAM, 1 GB swap) on one of my backup servers. I'm using the latest Etch

I read you CLUG post. It seems like you should be able to do everything that you want using rdiff-backup and not using your temp work directory with rsync (which looks to be messing things up). Also, if you are using rdiff-backup on backup1, why do you need to preserve file history on backup2?
