That's the conclusion I'm coming to. The boxbackup system is primarily
for offsite client backups, but I was hoping to use the same platform
for local servers too.

At the moment it's a toss up between rsnapshot (rsync based using hard
links to save space) and rdiff-backup. I think rdiff-backup has the edge
because it can run on the backup server as a non root user.
