It was also stated that you could use rsync and I wasn't so sure. Is it safe to assume that rsync starts at the start of the file and works it's way forward like a regular copy program would? Not that familiar with the inner workings of it.

In one of the recent podcasts, it was mentioned that to backup a couchdb
database you can just copy the file. I understand how this works with
using cp as the important header blocks are in the start of the file and
the rest is append only.
