Actually, I wasn't using --local, I just wasn't using --no-local, as I
mixed up that and --no-hardlinks (which lies somewhere between, but is
still not the same as using file://).

It's entirely possible that you read the posts before I updated them.

Also, keep in mind, if you're evaluating what you're doing, that the
system we have was not set up to be a backup system. It was set up to
be a mirror system. With proper sanity checking, it would have acted
in a decent capacity as a backup system, but that wasn't why it was
set up, nor how it was set up.
