Each incremental backup is really just a set of patches against the full backup, applied in sequence (as a chain). If you delete a file, I believe it uses some metadata (puts an empty file in a toplevel 'deleted' directory in the incremental tarball). -mt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
