Hi, I have a query about file transfer while taking backups. I understand that backuppc uses de-duplication i.e. only a single copy of the file is stored even if multiple copies of it exist on different machines. However, what I would like to know is when a file is transferred after being backed up once. Is it during the next full-backup? Is it after a certain duration has elapsed? Or is it that once a file is copied it is never transferred again (even for full-backup) unless it is changed?
On a side note, backuppc has so far proved to be the best disk based backup solution I have come across. I was so impressed with it that I even configured it on dd-wrt based router https://rahul.amaram.name/blog/2009/12/28/backuppc-lighttpd-dd-wrt . Keep up the great work. Looking forward to a response.
