I'm a little confused and need a little clarification. Suppose my BackupPC server has 2 full backups of identical data (no files were changed or added between backups). The pooling mechanism means that these 2 full backups take up the space of 1 full backup, right? (ignoring the space required for hardlinks, etc).
When using tar or smb as a transport, will performing a full backup transfer the entire contents of the share being backed up? And then BackupPC will discard duplicate files and hardlink them? What exactly happens when using tar or smb to perform an incremental backup? I've read through the documentation, but it was a lot to digest. If the documentation contains the answers to my questions, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to the appropriate section.
