Summary: rsync stream file type
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.6
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: d...@yost.com
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
Give rsync the ability to write/read its stream to/from an archive file. Almost
certainly the best option would be for rsync to maintain its own archive file
format.
Why do this? Because rsync is awesome, we have learned all of its options by
now, and unlike tar, cpio, etc., rsync captures all metadata, and rsync streams
across a connection.
A future enhancement would be the ability to append an update to the end of the
file.
Another enhancement would be optionally to append an index, so that files could
be retrieved quickly from the archive.
This enhancement could be useful for versioned backups.
