I agree. IMO rdiff-backup should never be run over an internet 
connection, only on a stable local network. If you want to get the 
rdiff-backup data offsite, create your rdiff-backup repository locally 
and then use rsync to mirror it to the offsite location. This is the 
technique used for TimeDicer primary/mirror servers.
