Yes, in my config.pl I have:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';

I'm doing this because it's what management wants, to be able to restore 
a file from any backup, so the backups will have to span indefinitely.  
There are times when i've been asked to restore a file that was last 
touched by a user 3, 5, etc years ago and at some more recent point was 
deleted.  And to carry that out, I'm asking if I have the proper 
configuration for that.  I am open to suggestions on how often I should 
be doing full and incremental backups.
