those apps that needs to diff something should be tossed out the door
and will be if i'm the bozo responsible for 100% data backup and
reliability
incremental backups can be done without any prior data of anything just
depends on how the incremental is done
lots of unix cmd doesnt care about the previous commands
in order to perfom the one its told to do
"find | tar" ... replace with your favorite proper tools
full backups of anything .. except those thingies
and incremental of this and that from the past n-days/weeks/months
and i say 90% of incrementals are done incorrectly ...
- ie .... full backups didn't occur as planned ...so now what??
and ALL subsequent incrementals are now worthless
there are hundreds of things that can or will go wrong with backups ...
- there are very very few that address each of those points
and unfortunately, veritas is one of those that is pretty good
at it .. but its not free... so its not in the picture
