Not so. For small file there is no advantage as any change may change the whole file. Its for large files where only a few blocks change that the delta algorithms saves transfer time. And that's exactly where eCryptfs ould help. You don't like file level encryption but that is exactly what you have been asking about. You cant move out of Windows but still want a scalable, stable solution. Its all a contradiction of terms.. Selva
