A chain of forward deltas requires an extra copy of the backup data. So, you'd need a start point, an end point, and the deltas would be generated while updating the end point. To expire old deltas, you would apply the oldest batch file to the start-point data, and then delete that batch file. So, the rdiff backup approach you mentioned would take less space since it only needs an end-point copy of the data to maintain its chain of backward deltas. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
