[BackupPC-users] Full backup bandwidth reduction

[Toni V. R. <ton...@p-...>]

How can I reduce bandwidth usage for full backups?

Even when using rsync, BackupPC does transfer all data on a full backup,
and not only the modified files since the last incremental or full.

I would love to see BackupPC performing this simple task:
- cp -al $last new
- rsync -au --delete host:/share new
- mv new $last+1

Why? Because the reporting of BackupPC is very, very good (and easy).

Possible?
