Is there any difference between the two following strategies for backing up files to a remote system:-
1 Mount the remote destination directory using sshfs/fuser Copy the files to the 'local' directory just mounted using rsync, rdiff-backup or whatever.
2 Copy the files directly to the remote system using rsync or rdiff-backup.
My concern with option 1 is that sshfs falls over a little too often for me to trust it with an unattended backup. I'd rsync if I could.
Hope that helps,
