As Donovan Baarda already mentioned, you should probably use rdiff. If you need to do the same thing with multiple files and want to keep track of permissions, new/deleted files, etc., you may want to check out rdiffdir, which is included in the duplicity package. It combines multiple rdiff signatures or deltas in tar format files. See http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/ for more information or to download. -- Ben Escoto
