I'm using rdiff-backup and it's remarkably easy to backup but when
backing up HUGE files (like a VM image) it can take a long time, because
the receiving side compares the two files and stores only the
difference.  This is good for disk space but bad for CPU usage.

I'm backing up to a server in my basement that's used for little else,
so this isn't an issue for me.
