Hi Michael

In the rdiff-backup man page there is a section headed "REMOTE OPERATION" -
if you view the man page ("man rdiff-backup") then type a slash ("/")
followed by "remote operation" it will take you to the first occurrence of
that string. Typing 'n' will take you to successive occurances, and very
soon you'll come across the section with that name. In there it explains
how to use different schema (ie, methods of connecting to the remote
system).

Hopefully that will help you out.
