Thanks, but nope. I have a choice of ftp, and nfs. rsync is one of the
first things that I had checked into when we took this job to do a remote
backup for a customer. Will rsync work the nfs mount like it was
remote? The customer is running a Snap server that doesn't allow ssh,
telnet, rsync. It allows limited ftp and it allows nfs.
