Interesting... it might be worthwhile to revisit this in the context
of the new BackupPC ver 4. In particular, with ver 4 using full file
md5sums (and potentially maybe other sha checksums), one could imagine
an rsync extension that in the absence of a matching file, would first
compute the local md5sum and transmit it to the BackupPC server to
look for an exact pool match...
