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.
