Hello, If BackupPC uses hard links, what exactly makes a full backup different from an incremental backup? Is it just the --checksum flag for rsync?
Suppose that a file has not changed since the last full backup. Will BackupPC re-transmit the file and create a new redundant file on the backup disk? I imagine not. I imagine that it just makes a hard link. In which case, the "full" backup now starts to look like a plain regular backup with --checksum added. Thanks for the help.
