I use rsyncd to backup my (Windows) clients.
The first backup of each client needs a really long time.

Would it be faster if I use smb or tar for the initial backup?
Is it possible to switch back to rsyncd after this initial backup?
Would I maintained all the benefits of rsyncd starting with the 2nd backup?

Thanks
Matthias
