      * Windows XP

      * Xservers

 2. I also want to know if my rdiff server is on Mac OS X

      and the clients are Windows (XP/2000/2003) , Novelle Server , Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, Linux.

      Does it works with all the clients. I mean to say is there any problem

 5. I want to know If rdiff Server is receiving the data of around 1 GB

every day what is harware configuration recommended   for the better

performance.

 

 6. How rdiff works with multiple client connections in terms of performance ?

 

 7. For backing data across different clients on different platform (as I

mentioned earlier) do we need data to be backup should be availble on

shares(NFS/CIFS) ? or what rdiff supports ?

 

 8. What are the recovery mechanism provided by rdiff ?
