Question about how to backup a rdiff-backup directory
Author Message
Post Question about how to backup a rdiff-backup directory 
Hi

I have just started to use rdiff-backup and currently I am backup a
mounted cifs directory on a linux box (box A), it also rdiff-backups to
another box in the same location (at the same time ?) and also sends it
to 2 other locations via vpns

my problem is that the vpn links are slow (over the internet) and my
backup window gets very small...

so I thought instead of rdiff-backup to the off site locations, I could
say rsync --delete local rdiff-backup directory offsite to the other 2
sites. if need arises I could rdiff-backup restore directly from the
other sites.


Would that work ?

Also my backup data size is around 800M roughly actually compresses down
to about 166m - I used to tar gzip the directory up and then send the
gz's off location, but I am in the process of moving towards backupninja
and rdiff-backup to handle my backup needs.

I presume by using --remote-schema "ssh -C %s .... " I am getting the
same sort of compression ratio ?

Thanks
Alex Samad
