Hi all,

while playing with backuppc, I got some new questions... New at least
for me ;-)

One configured backup host  has a very slow network connection - a full
backup lasts about two days. Because of the exclusive run of
backuppc_nightly in 2.xx, I learned, this full backup stalls all other
backups. I want to avoid tihs situation and got stuck in following:

What exactly happens during full backup? I read, that backuppc stores
every identical file only one time. Whereever needed, this file is
linked to. What happens with an unchanged file in a full backup? Since
it is allready in the spool - will BackupPC transfer it again?
If the file will not be transferred again - what is the difference
between full and incremenal?
And if yes - does it make sense to keep one full for ever and dealing
only with following incrementals?

Thanks a lot,
Clemens
