Looks like I accidentally included my response in a quote, rsync over  
an ssh tunnel. It doesn't tax the system badly.

I've also noticed that backuppc appears to start a new process for  
each of the RsyncShareName values. For example, if I have /Users and / 
usr/local I'll see "Starting backup for /Users" followed by one for / 
usr/local.

If I have /Users/foo/bar, /Users/foo/bah, and /Users/foo/boh listed as  
Rsync Shares and bar and bah complete, but boh does not. Will bar and  
bah be done incrementally next time (and much faster), thus eventually  
covering his entire user tree?

I only ask, because I've been attempting to convince him to leave the  
laptop overnight for a while but he feels he cannot part from it.
