I'm using BackupPC 3.1.0 and I'm having problems with rsync clients 
running out of memory and crashing (the Linux kernel's OOM-Killer is 
unleashed, wreaking all sorts of havoc).  Apparently this is a known 
problem if a lot of files are being synced and one or both ends of the 
rsync transfer is older than rsync 3.0 (see 
<http://www.samba.org/rsync/FAQ.html#5>).

The client machines have rsync 3.0, but it looks like BackupPC uses an 
older version.  I just switched to tar, so we'll see if that makes the 
problem go away.

I'd prefer to use rsync.  Is there any chance BackupPC could use a newer 
version of File::RsyncP that supports rsync protocol version 30?

Thanks,
Richard
