[rdiff-backup-users] Network performance

[Laurent De Buyst]

Hello,


I was wondering, if I run rdiff-backup
and point it to a remote server, how much work gets done by that remote
server?

Or to be a bit more specific: would
there be a serious difference in performance between:

A) rdiff-backup to a remote server

B) use sshfs to mount the remote server's
disk locally and use rdiff-backup locally


I would like to do B because I have
a rather piecemeal network and this would allow me to handle a lot more
clients in a consistent manner, but if it's going to have a huge performance
hit, then I'll pass.
