As we make the transition from rsync to rdiff-backup for "live" backups here in Parkrose School District, there's basically only thing I miss. This is the --bwlimit=x (where x is the bandwidth cap in kb) argument for rsync. Very useful for backing up during the day w/o killing our WAN connection to the backup server which is at another site. Still, we're happy campers. Thanks for the spiffy tool! -Da
