Hi, not sure what you mean by memory limited, but I definitely back up 
lots of repos with rdiff-backup and have never noticed any problems with 
memory usage. However transferring the same files with rsync takes much 
more RAM, as rsync loads the whole file list in memory, rdiff-backup 
doesn't seem to. Perhaps there is some ceiling you are not reaching in 
terms of counting files before more ram consumption.
Just my 2c.
