local directory backup

[cova-fe]

Hi all,
my problem is the following: is it possible to backup local directories (basically, server and client on the same machine), avoiding to use ssh? In my situation I have a nfs mounted dir that I want to backup on local storage, but I'm not sure how this can be done using this module. It works great for resources accessed via ssh.
I've modified the module adding a parameter so that if it is true the user@host: part in configuration is omitted, but maybe there is a better solution that I've overlooked..

Many thanks for any answer.

Actually adding the parameter is probably the best solution- it allows users to specify whether they want local or ssh backups. Conversely I can look into doing a comparison between the backup host and the current machine's fqdn.
