[BackupPC-users] "Full" backup
2009-05-22 15:55:36
Hello,
If BackupPC uses hard links, what exactly makes a full backup different
from an incremental backup? Is it just the --checksum flag for rsync?
Suppose that a file has not changed since the last full backup. Will
BackupPC re-transmit the file and create a new redundant file on the
backup disk? I imagine not. I imagine that it just makes a hard link. In
which case, the "full" backup now starts to look like a plain regular
backup with --checksum added.
Thanks for the help.
Daniel.
