Hi Anthony - I read a posting once where someone suggested using rsync to do something similar. Rsync just transmits the changes between versions and has (the newer version) support for network access. Regards Pavlos On Wed, 12 Jan 2000, Anthony Baxter wrote:
Hiya,
I plan to write something that will do 'daily' (or whatever) archiving of Data.fs, by using a fairly simple algorithm:
start: store file, size
incremental: if new_size < size: store complete new file, size # pack operation has happened. else: store all bytes from size to new_size
This should allow me to reconstruct the Data.fs at any given point... can anyone see any problems with this?
(of course, the bonus followup would be to implement the CVS pserver protocol so that you could retrieve it that way, but hey, I've got better things to do with my life :)
