rclone won't patch files, it will transfer the whole files. At best you can achieve what rsync does, in the sense that you will probably have to read 100% of the local and remote, and depending on whether you have rsync on the remote, you may or may not have to transfer the whole thing. To do better than that you will need ZFS. The only truly incremental alternative is archiving binlogs, but then you'll have to replay the binlogs from the last bull backup which can take hours or days dependong on what your write throughput looks like. -- Gordan Bobic Database Specialist, Shattered Silicon Ltd. https://shatteredsilicon.net Follow us: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shatteredsilicon X: https://x.com/ssiliconbg _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
