If you use rsync, only the modified parts will be transferred over the
network, but backuppc will reconstruct the entire new file, compress it,
and link it as a new file into the pool along with any other identical
copies. That's probably not ideal for growing log/mail files that are
unique per machine and change every run, but if you copy the same
changed file as an update to many machines it's not so bad.
