Probably, yes, it would since it copies only what has changed *inside* the
file and not the entire file when it determines that a file has changed.
Well, what I was focused on was the following:
1. Maintaining snapshots of your system at different times e.g "last-week"
or "last-week-but-one" or "last month" etc...
2. Being able to restore your system to a particular point in time by
running a couple of commands i.e something like:
# cd /
# tar -zxvf full-backup-file.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf incremental-backup-file-1.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf incremental-backup-file-2.tar.gz
# ...
Cheers!
Gerald.
