Heres how to find out what is generally more useful: (number of times you
use tar/the number of times you use rsync)*100 = how much more useful tar
is than rsync. I don't even know what rsync has to do with backups that
won't be transfered off the system. Why mention it?

It's all useful and anything learned is good. I really don't know what
is "more" useful. Just offering an alternative choice.

rsync over ssh seems pretty secure and stable. It works for me.

That's great and not really. I am confused about the refusal to run a
ftpd but the preference of using ftpcopy from a ftp server. I don't
know much, though.
