Really? My understanding of rsync & rdiff-backup was: They will scan the
source directory for changed files, and only copy the files that have
changed. My understanding was: If a file has changed, the whole file
will be sent (and not just the changed sections within the changed file.)
You must have looked very deeply into rsync & co. From man rsync:
It
is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the
amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences
between the source files and the existing files in the
destination.
