I looked on my own setup to answer this question, since I used a similar method under 3.x and have been backing up the local systems under 4.x since the alpha versions.

Turns out I just use a pretty vanilla rsync/ssh setup, and set up ssh keys so the box can log into itself without issues.


That's what I'll do if no other solution is available, but too bad to add the ssh overhead when it was so easy to use plain rsync on v3

You can research options for encryption to change to a lower overhead method and disable compression if it's on by default.

Doesn't BPC v4 have the "rsyncd" transfer method?  That uses pure rsync with no encryption overhead.  I've been thinking about switching over to v4, but almost all of my backups are done via rsyncd.  If rsyncd is not available, then I guess I'm staying with v3.
