Do you know wich providers are compatible with rsnapshot ? I mean with
its links system ?
You need three things: first, to be able to mount the remote filesystem
across the network so that it shows up as a volume on your computer;
second, you need to mount using a protocol that supports hard links
(SMB/CIFS in particular won't cut it); third, the remote filesystem must
support hard-links. That website doesn't say anything about that.
In addition, some services have a paltry 2GB maximum file size which may
prevent you from backing up some of your files.
However, the fact that to use it you have to download some software would
seem to indicate that it doesn't appear as a network filesystem, and so
is unsuitable.
In any case, backing up to a network filesystem is always going to be
slow, as all the filesystem operations have to go across the network.
Running rsnapshot and rsync on the remote machine is far more efficient,
as the rsync protocol that it'll use for talking across the network is
far more efficient and large parts of rsnapshot's work won't need to
touch the network at all - rotating backups and cp -al.
