Hi Matthias, that's a good idea.

I was only thinking on rsync+ssh, and rsyncd also exists.

For information, I tried to rsync the complete root folder. And it took 
hours only to generate the file list to transfer.

This is why I had to use a find command to divide to file tree in 
smaller ones to be faster to backup.

I will try your solution and reply to the list to inform about the results.

Thanks.
