Hi

	i have a machine that have about 100GB of data to backup, via 
ssh+rsync, but its network connection is about 1Mb, so it will take ages
to do even the first backup.

	i already have on the backuppc server one old backup of 
that machine, done via plain rsync (not backuppc).

	so my question is:

Is there any way to pre-load that "big, but slow" machine backup in 
backuppc, so that it doesnt need to transfer those 100GB again on a
full backup?

	i use compression, but found no easy way to compress the
files and put then in the cpool dir... even if i have, how to generate
the support files? are they even required? will this even work at all!?

	Does any one tried to pre-fill a backup with existent data that
could give me some tip how to do it?

	Thanks in advance!
best regards
higuita
