Package: faubackup
Version: 0.5pre1-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
after the second report I should probably confess that I quite like
faubackup!
Ok, now to my problem: backup up megabytes over the wire is slow.
Since faubackup's central idea is the discovery that most backupped
data is usually unchanged from the last backup, why not transfer only
the changed files?
I'd probably do it as follows: The local end (where I start faubackup)
sends the md5sums of the files from the last backup to the remote end
(where the data to backup lies). For each file the remote end either
sends a "no change" signal (if the md5sum is equal), or the new
version of the file (otherwise).
Another possibility is to build on the power of rsync. I don't know
the inner working of faubackup too well, but maybe it would be just as
simple as creating a new backup tree by recursive hardlinking the last
backup, and then running a "rsync -r" over the new tree.
