Read about it yourself here: http://www.lessfs.com/wordpress/?page_id=50 In short, it uses a 192-bit hash function (happens to be Tiger) to uniquely identify each block, and then compresses each block with LZO or QUICKLZ. -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
