Hi, During the episode the Posse talked about how to reduce the data for online backups by avoiding redundant files. This is called "data deduplication" and is already used in backup and email systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication
I would assume most online backup systems use this. They even mention the case where during a backup a client wouldn't send a file to the server if it's already there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Data_deduplication#Client_backup_deduplication). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
