oh, i forgot. the following is from the manpage

"
using rsync daemon
 rsync://user[:password]@host.com[:port]::[/]module/some_dir
using rsync over ssh (only key auth)
 rsync://user@xxxxxxxx[:port]/[relative|/absolute]_path 
"

you'll have to do key auth for rsync over ssh.

funny you ask. there actually really was a user who measured transfer
speeds and found rsync over ssh to be faster than sftp over the ssh
backend.

anyway.. consider duplicity backends as mere transport mechanism
modules. so the only things they do is put, delete, list files on a
(remote) filesystem or similar storage. e.g. the imap backend files the
backup chains on an imap server as big email files, how cool is that ;O
