Hello List,
As far as I understand, incremental Backups save the differences against
the last _incremental_ snapshot (or full, if no incremental is available).
At least as I have just tested, a restore downloaded all incrementals
until the last full one.
Wouldn't it be good, to have a option to set duplicity to calculate all
incrementals against the last full snapshot. I know that these means the
incrementals will grow over the time, but on the other hand restores would
be much faster.
So depending on the nature of the backup'd data and restore-requriements
(who wants to wait long while the server is restoring?), i think this
might a good option.
(off course only optional, and default is as it is now)
Is there a technical reason which might block this idea?
Thx,
Daniel
