Re: [BackupPC-devel] BackupPCd ready for BackupPC developer interaction

[Jeroen K. <jtm...@ho...>]

Roy,

I was reading about how BackupPCd sends complete files. Maybe we could 
implement librsync support for sending only the differences between two 
files. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. Although I'm 
currently only programming in Perl and my knowledge of C is a little 
rusty, I might be able to assist in implementing librsync usage.

Regards, Jeroen Koekkoek
