Hi ! I've seen in some commercial backup systems with included deduplication (which often run under Linux :-), that files are split in 128k or 256k chunks prior to deduplication.
It's nice to improve the deduplication ratio for big log files, mbox files, binary db not often updated, etc. Only the last chunk of a log file would create a new entry in the backuppc pool. Anybody has idead about how this feature could be added without major changes to backuppc ? (replacing hard links with text files containing the list of chunks ?) cheers, -- Ludovic Drolez. http://www.palmopensource.com - The PalmOS Open Source Portal http://www.drolez.com - Personal site - Linux, Zaurus and PalmOS stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
