should work fine; just be a bit slow, and not as easily securable as rsync +
ssh.

do you not want ssh because of the encryption overhead, or because your
Netware servers can't handle rsync + ssh?

I think encryption can be turned off on ssh; in case you just want to use it
as a tunnelling mechansim. I'd personally prefer to encrypt it tho... cut
down the risk of someone sniffing your backups off the wire and getting
access to everyone's data.
