Tangential question: I've been using rsnapshot to backup a remote machine to my local NAS for a while now. My impression is that even for an incremental backup, everything that I want to have backed up is transferred over the wire, and it is determined locally what actually needs to be written to disk, and what can be hardlinked from a previous backup.
Is there a way to configure rsnapshot so that it only transfers the data that's actually changed?
- nixcraft 5y agoThat is the default. rsnapshot uses rsync between local and remote, and rsync uses delta encoding algo so it is speedy. You may need to tune your ssh, networking stack and rsync.
