Yes I know. That's not the issue. OpenVPN works perfectly with net2net
and routes...

Hmmm...may I check in some way how many data has been backed up? Even if
it was a failed full backup?
I remember it took me several days to initialize the rsnapshot backup.
But when I check the rsync open files on the server it always stays in
the same folder...

If so, again the question what is then the difference between a full
rsync backup and an incremental one? I think I'll have to read the docs
again to understand this...tried already several times, didn't succesed ;-)
