thanks for your explanations ... i was a bit confused to see a lot of
"Processing changed file" messages of files which have already been
transferred ... could be that checksumming these files is a performance
bottleneck on the NAS device ... so doing the rdiff-backup locally and
uploading via rsync might be an option ...
