maxbitran Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hi How does the sync for big files work? If I have a big xml or database (stand alone) file, will the sync work incrementally, in diffefencial or full mode? I want to know this on the single file level, bits and bytes sync... Are the copies a clone, I mean, do they copy byte by byte or only relevant data. There are files that after updated keep the old or deleted data inside but inaccessible, occupying space, how the sync deals with that? Can you help me ? 10x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yottabit Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The current version hashes 4 MB blocks of the file. If the file length doesn't change, only the changed 4 MB blocks are updated. If the file length changes, the entire file is resync'd.Search these forums. There are plenty more details about that available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it still resync the whole file or just the last 8MB that updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
