My apologizes for replying to an ancient thread, but I'm curious if an upgrade from 2.x to 3.x will help with bandwidth efficiency much? I was under the assumption that BackupPC never transfers the same file twice unless it changed after the last backup (either full or incremental), even in the 2.x version. Was that an invalid assumption on my part? Thanks for a great product!
