I've tested rsync and rdiff-backup
(http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/) and rdiff-backup
seems to be more responsive, and seems to begin to write before rsync...

anyone here with experience with rdiff-backup? I think that (except
being -maybe- less time consuming)
it's like rsync (good & bads included)

And thanks for your reply,
Ermanno
