Question #163372 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/163372
virtual joe gave more information on the question: I killed it. I am now doing a duplicity verify. I noticed even without deleting anything, it still "Re-Downloads" the full 2GB SigTar file. A feature request would be to keep it and compare to see if local is same as remote and if so don't re-download since takes a while on a slower connection. Also, although I did not move any source files around, by what you said it seems to indicate duplicity does not attempt to use hardlinks to link identical files in different places, but will copy each over as a separate file. I believe rdiff-backup does not, it uses hardlinks right? Any possibility of supporting hardlinks in the future for duplicity also? I hope to have more info once the duplicity "verify" completes to perhaps find out why most of the files even old untouched ones are being flagged as new and "A" added when doing incremental duplicity run.... I'm hoping it has nothing to do with anything peculiar between my source and target backup system, date/timezones and file system differences...(source gentoo/reiserfs destination centOS ext4) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of duplicity-team, which is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
