Yes. There's deduplication. It's using a rolling hash for chunking and then deduplicates those chunks. So every snapshot it always a full backup.

- lucb1e 5y agoTo be clear, "every snapshot [is] always a full backup" does not mean that you have to upload your whole terabytes-large drive every time. I guess what you mean is that each backup stands on its own, referring to the chunks it needs. I don't think that's what people mean when they say that each snapshot is a new full backup but rather that this is the definition of it being incremental.
- dividuum 5y agoCorrect. Thanks for clarifying.
