That's not incremental
You seem to be using a curious definition of 'incremental'. An incremental backup is a difference between the last full backup set plus all the incremental backups taken since then and the current state of the filesystem. Sure, what you do doesn't copy any files except the ones that have changed, but for any file that has changed, you copy the whole file, and you also keep around (yes, I know it's via hard link) all the files that haven't changed.
That's not incremental
Sorry, I should have made it clear that I don't really care about network bandwidth, I care about long-term storage requirements. So sure, rsync will only spend a handful of packets to send over that one byte difference in a ten gigabyte file, but you're keeping both copies of the whole ten gigabyte file (with a one byte difference between them) on the backup disk afterwards. |
