Hi,

I am backupping several windows machines (and linux machines too) over a slowish connection (1st generation ADSL connection). For the windows machines, I have installed rsyncd. However, I am under the impression that with rsyncd backuppc is not able to perform differential backups. As I have a fair bit of data to backup, all my (incremental) backups last for about 10h (yes!) and I can see no reduction in the duration of backups.

On the other hand, my linux machines are backed up using rsync and there I can clearly see that only a delta of changes is transferred at each backup.

How can I improve the performance of backups on my windows machine? I am correct in saying that rsyncd does not perform differential backups? Should I move to rsync somehow instead of rsyncd, if yes is there any suggestions on how to do it?

I am using version 3.0 of backuppc, the server runs on Linux Ubuntu.

Regards and thanks for your help

Raphaël
