Re: [BackupPC-users] Resume Backup

definitely use rsync/rsyncd if possible. I do find that smb can be much faster on a local lan but you have to deal with file locks on the client side as well as permission issues as samba does not give all the same information as the real filesystem the file sit on.

Are you using the rsync or rsyncd methods? I don't think the others can
resume.
