Hi mailinglist,

I need to backup a couple of hosts using a low-bandwidth connection. The daily 
diff on the filesystem is pretty small. 

Is it possible to have some kind of "synthetic backup" or "incremental forever" 
- like some commercial products name it? They using differencial backups to 
build a new full backup. Using this I could backup the host once and then only 
doing differencial backups.

At 4.0alpha3 documentation I found 

"The reverse deltas allow "infinte incrementals" - no need for a full backup if 
you are willing to trade speed for the risk that a file change will not be 
detected if the mtime or size don't change." which seems to be the what I was 
looking for. 

Is there any way to use this feature also with v3 - as I would doubt that I 
want to use v4 for production?!

Thanks in advance and Best Regards,

Andreas
