RE: Rsync incremental backup solution implemented?

Hi Ben There was also work done on xdelta which uses the same algorithm as rsync that was doing work in this area. I haven't looked at it in a while. I think that it was hosted at source forge. -- Ian Willis -Original Message- From: Ben Escoto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:

RE: Rsync incremental backup solution implemented?

What you're proposing is If a change is made to a file it would automatically create a delta either on the filesystem or in a special area. A backup could collasp all deltas in the last timeperiod or back them all up allowing rollback to previouse versions. The problems with this are Deltas

RE: unlimited backup revisions?

What I would like it to create a backup server that maintains a copy of all the files on a server and also maintains a copy of 20 or so deltas so that the last twenty or so revisions can be rebuilt. Is this possible or what would be the best approach to create such a beast? -- Ian Willis Systems
