yes.. rdiff sounds like a good thing to do..
- make a 1 line change and only save that one line diff changes
- but if one creates a 10MB.file and 100MB.file and 1GB.file...
- thhose 10MB files have to be saved daily ...
( guess no different thant he current daily incrementals
- problem is we cannot reset the "special directory" to now also
include the new 10MB.file ... and want to only save the new
changes of the 10MB.file
- if we do recreate a new "special directory", than the previous
set of diff changes are lost ?? since those diffs was applied to
a different master special directory ??
and yes.. a good way to do backups across the net ... little/minimal data
traffic
sounds like a fun problem to solve ??
