Really? My understanding of rsync & rdiff-backup was: They will scan the source directory for changed files, and only copy the files that have changed. My understanding was: If a file has changed, the whole file will be sent (and not just the changed sections within the changed file.) Am I wrong about the 2nd point? Can you show me some documentation to that fact? I could only find documentation that says "only send the files that changed" and didn't find any documentation indicating "only the changed sections of the changed files would be sent." The storebackup page explicitly says "splits big image files (from eg. TrueCrypt, mbox, Xen, KVM, VMware, etc.) or complete devices into small pieces" ... This is what I'm seeking, so I consider my original question answered.
