I like this part: What are block-level file updates? When updating existing files, Amazon S3 requires you to upload the entire file rather than just the changed portions. For large files, this can mean gigabytes of uploads for only a few kilobytes of changes. Uploading the unchanged data takes time and also costs money, as Amazon charges for each gigabyte uploaded. The block-level update feature of Jungle Disk Plus allows you to upload only the changed portions of large files, saving time and bandwidth. Jungle Disk Plus uses a technique similar to rsync to detect the changed parts of a file and upload only those changed parts to the Jungle Disk Plus server, which then combines the changes with the original file to update your file. Block-level updates are important for backing up large files such as Outlook PST files, databases, or other files that change regularly by only by a small amount relative to the overall size of the file.
