&quot;Are you guys allowing full access to the machine now through LXC containers or some sort of VM?&quot;<p>No - it is the customer, on the client side, that creates an sshfs mount representing their rsync.net account.<p>It works very well and it is very nice to have a plain old mount point that represents your rsync.net account - especially since you can just browse right into your historical ZFS snapshots, etc.<p>But in the past, people did that <i>and</i> they got the bright idea to rsync to that local mount point, to do their backups, and that didn&#x27;t work well.<p>But my understanding is that nowadays it would work better - you wouldn&#x27;t download every single file that rsync simply stat&#x27;d or listed ...<p>We still don&#x27;t recommend it, though.  No reason to add that complexity.
