Hey there,

 

After doing several incremental backups of our remote servers, I've noticed
the backup sizes and transfer time are just too long. 

Making bacula almost completely improper for backing up remote servers with
big single files.

 

I wanted to know whether someone actually got to implement an incremental
backup to act like rsync does upon file changes ?

 

I'm looking to write a patch to the save_file callback in the bacula-fd's
backup procedure to utilize the gnu's diff and patches and to send those
over the line to the bacula-sd. Of course a corresponding implementation in
the storage device will also be required.

 

Comments anyone ?
