[BackupPC-users] Benefits of 2.0.0?

[Brian S. D. <sys...@sa...>]

I'm using BackupPC 1.5.?  I can't remember off the top of my head.  I've
been backup up both Linux and Windows machines and my question is this.
What are the benefits of upgrading to 2.0?  Is there a difference in
performance?  Is Rsync really that much better than tar?  I read the change
log but I can't see a real reason unless I'm missing something.  Any
information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
