[BlueOnyx:05552] Re: Backups

[Jeff Jones]

It's not really a very cleaver backup is it?

I have a number of customers with sites over 1GB in size, on one server there is 30GB of site data. So every night 30gb of data is backed up, even if only 500 MB is new. If you have a lot of servers, and want to FTP backups to a central backup server, this is huge waste of I/O and storage.

Yes it would be great to have a differential / incremental backup solution for BX....
