Re: When your whole backup solution is centered around SCP transfers...
scp and rsync are completely different protocols.
To use rsync, you need the rsync binary at both ends. It can either use raw TCP as transport (if you run rsyncd at the far end), or it can run over an ssh exec session as transport, but does not depend on scp. It's a streaming protocol in its own right.
