Feature request: Store diffed files separately.
...fficient. Let me explain:
Day 1: take a full backup of a directory: rsync -r ./source/ ./dest/
Day 2: Diff the contents of ./source/ and ./dest/ and store only the
new/modified files in ./incremental_day1
Day 3: Diff the contents of ./source/ and ./dest/ and store only the
new/modified files in ./incremental_day2
etc.
This way to restore a backup of Day 2 just do: rsync -Pvr
./incremental_day2 ./dest/ # But make the updates to ./source/ instead
so you can preserve existing backups. Does this make sense? I
thought something like this might be useful since your on-going
incremental backups aren't stori...
