[rdiff-backup-users] Rdiff large files

[Stephen Zemlicka]

Does rdiff transfer the whole file or just the part that changes as in rsync?

 

My situation is I need to backup over the internet.  I cannot modify the server to run the rsync server on it.  Currently, my connectivity is limited to a mapped drive.  Since rsync transfers the whole file, I was hoping I could use rdiff to only transfer the changes and in a restore, the specified change file/folder would be applied to patch the files to the current version.
