Does rdiff do any compression or is it simply doing incremental backup and that's where your space efficiency is coming from? How is the retrieval latency with that or is a full snapshot periodically built when the number of diffs reach a threshold? As an aside, anyone have practical experience with transcoding, say, for mobile devices or bandwidth-limited networks?
