So, with a "full" run, the second "full" is still seen as an incremental by rsync? Let's assume a 100GB host. bpc will backup that host for the first time. 100GB are transferred. The next day, only 5GB are added on that host. i'll force bpc to make a "full/filled" backup. How many GB are transferred, 105GB or only 5GB ? > With BackupPC 4.x if you delete a 'filled' backup (why would you do that > anyway?)

And what If I don't have any other filled backup but only incrementals made from the deleted "filled" ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
