I would like to use rdiff-backup to back up sound files (among others).  Some 
of the 
files could be as large as 0.5 GB or more.  I am worried about how rdiff-backup 
handles files of this size.  I think that performing a diff would waste time 
and disk 
space.  


Hi Jeffrey,
we frequently backup files larger than this all the time. It is reasonably 
efficient, as 
diffs are compressed. Is the audio already compressed?

Yes, the audio is already compressed.  Usually the sound files are encoded 
using 
FLAC.
