I have these Microsoft Entourage databases files that modified often and can be a few gigs in size... I want to back them up with rsync, but if the whole file is backed-up each time it takes a lot of space up (...multiplied by many users). I want to just store the initial file then only the deltas for each backup after that. So my concern is not so much for bandwidth conservation, but storage conservation. -- Noah -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
