Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Can I backup to local AND remote in one operation?

[Dave Kelly]

OK...one other quick thought...what if I were to run the local rdiff-backup 
to, say /backup on a local machine, and then at some later point every night, 
rsync /backup to a remote server?  Sort of the same purpose, but I guess the 
real question is can I mirror an rdiff backed up directory and still have 
rdiff-backup read it correctly if I need to restore from the mirror?
