Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Thanks for the suggestion Brian. I would prefer to use[[user]@host::]path , but based on my reading of the man page and examples, it requires rdiff-backup to be available on the remote server which unfortunately is not the case in my situation. I don't see anything in the rdiff-backup man page or examples indicating you can use URIs.  Can you be more specific about where it shows that?
