I am using it to backup from a linux server (including pc mounted
shares) - I have done fast recovery of files from both the linux and PC
shares just by copying the files from the off-site rsync host. I have
it setup to run several jobs every 3.5 hours.

Is anyone on this list using rsync to transport their data for disaster
recovery? I've seen some effective UNIX/Linux backups/archives done with
rsync, but I'm wondering things like:
- how well can it be integrated with CIFS/Windows systems? (have I gotta
roll a SAMBA server to translate so that rsync "sees" the windows data?)
- is it relatively fast over slow links?
- how well does it work with "incremental changing" data? Can you
emulate "snapshots", for example?
- anyone have to "reverse" the direction of the rsync data flow to
recover the data, and if so, how easy was it?
Experienced replies welcome....
