Hello,

Archive of incremental backups (only delta) has not been discussed in a long 
time. One of the proposed option was to create a tarball of pc/host/BackupNum 
however this requires some gymnastics to correctly interpret the paths. Has 
anyone come up with an elegant solution to this problem? I had successfully 
modified BackupPC_tarCreate to only write files based on mtime of file and a 
timedelta. By adding 'next if($hdr->{mtime} < $TimeDelta);' in TarWriteFile 
function.  The TimeDelta is simply the time stamp of last full.

If there was a way to know which file is new in an incremental backup, then we 
can use remaining code as is.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Tarak
