I'd like to use something like the following as a way to get fine-grained incrementals/versioning of volumes; the mtime-based incremental dumps presumably have to dump a whole file even if you only change 1 byte.
I'm thinking of the following protocol: 1. take a full volume dump daily 2. use a (smart) binary diff system like rdiff (xdelta3?) to generate a delta from the previous day's full dump 3. delete the previous day's dump. It seems like the dumps would have to (at a minimum) have all of the objects appear in the same order every time for this to work reasonably. Thoughts? john _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
