The reason I use rsync for the secondary backup is that I just want a 
mirror of the data on the first (rdiff-backup) backup machine - 
including (and especially) all the rdiff-backup archives. Doing an 
rdiff-backup of an rdiff-backup archive would seem too much of a good 
thing. Or maybe I just can't get my head around it.
