Section 9 - In-file delta technology

This section describes what In-file delta technology is and how it can be used to reduce size of backup

9.1.1 Block Size

[Block Size] defines the size of block used when detecting changes between last full or delta file and the file to be backed up.

In general:

In-file delta backup with small block size:




• Produce a smaller delta file due to a more precise comparison
• Require more processing power on the client machine
• Comparison may take longer to complete



In-file delta backup with large block size:




• Produce a larger delta file due to a less precise comparison
• Require less processing power on the client machine
• Comparison will complete faster



For most cases, the default setting [Auto] will select the optimal block size for each file (depending on the size of the file).
