Comment 15 for bug 453169

Christoph,

actually, as I said below, rsync already has everything we need for performing the backup. rdiff-backup also does the trick, but it stores snapshots in a different way (probably more efficient storage-wise, but more computationally intensive when going back to older revisions).

Changing BackInTime to support rsync over ssh to perform the backup is less work than getting it to work with rdiff-backup.
