Now this would be quite the feature - and it fits perfecty with the idea of smart pooling that BackupPC has. The effects are rather interesting: - Different incremental levels won't be needed to preserve bandwidth - Full backups will indirectly use earlier incrementals as reference Definite whishlist item. /johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
