How is the retrieval latency with that or is a full snapshot periodically > built when the number of diffs reach a threshold? Not quite sure what you're asking. Yes, restoring data from an increment (or the mirror) takes some time, but addressing the original post (dealing with daily backups of large sets of data), using diffs just always seemed to be a much better solution to me, and much more efficient than compressing the whole deal. I suppose the point is moot if that data is being generated 100% new everyday, but really how many times is that true? --::-- Patrick Kilgore 617.910.0332 On Sun, Jul 10, 2011 at 12:59 AM, Stan Park <[email protected]> wrote: > Does rdiff do any compression
