<![CDATA[Cloudron Backup Rsync Dupes?]]>A new one - I have 2tb of data total and am doing rsync backups. Is it possible the backup sends all data each time it backs up and not just deltas? Reason I ask, somehow, my 2tb of data turned into 4tb+ over just a few days.
Any way to check that it's really only sending deltas?

That makes sense from a recovery perspective. I suspect it'd be a groovie feature to add though for Nextclouders and Jellyfin types so they know they have one good backup. In my case, disable backups of Jellyfin and back up and goin.

I think we have to add a restic backend or something for that.

Interesting excerpt - https://forum.cloudron.io/post/22278 :

Ah ok, so it is sort of working as the code is designed. Currently, rsync is optimizing on uploads and only uploading incremental changes. But the final storage is not incremental, every backup (i.e timestamped directory in the remote) is a full complete standalone backup.
