Is there a way to add compression to BackupPC backups using Rsyncd without 
having to using a VPN or by somehow enabling SSH compression? My wireless 
machines are taking anywhere from six to ten times as long to backup since I 
switched from Samba to Rsyncd which means they're backing up in hours instead 
of minutes now.

Another issue seems to be that machines will be backed up and if the machine 
goes offline, BackupPC won't know or care. I had a machine here on today for 
only a few minutes and then it went off the facilities. BackupPC is still 
sitting there with a nice green "Backup in Progress" even though the machine is 
completely gone as if it's too dumb to realize it.

All of this is quite annoying and makes me think the benefit of Rsync not 
having to transfer files is actually a lot less helpful. I can't figure out why 
it'd be doing this all so slowly or why it wouldn't realize a machine had gone 
offline over 12 hours ago.

I'm using version 3.1.0 in Ubuntu Server 8.04.4.
