In the case of rsync, is a greater speedup achieved due to 1) less calculations to make about what to transfer, or 2) less actual transfer of files?
I'm still a little fuzzy about how rsync interacts with the pool, and I'm trying to minimize my file transfers on hosts that I back up over the internet. For instance, suppose my full backup consists only of fileA.txt and my first incremental backup consists of fileA.txt and fileB.txt. If no more files are added on the host, does my next level 1 backup (using rsync) re-transfer fileB.txt because rsync is referencing the last full backup, even though fileB.txt already exists in the pool? -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
