Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Rdiff-backup over FTP

[Gregy]

Well you could use just one key for everyone...but that would cause
security issues (one person overwriting onother one's backup) or you
could backup the files over samba..just mount smb share as a drive
letter on windows and run "local" backup with rdiff-backup. That
should theoreticaly work.
