Moving file between 2 folders on client side => New file transfer to server, before deduplication?

Hello orogor:

Many thanks for coming back to me with such a lot of information - much appreciated. I’ll bypass some of the comments considering uroni’s reply, but here is some further response which others might find useful:

@orogor

As i remember one is with macsosx sparse files being backed up as empty files. And at this level it s almost a macos issue, but i admit, it s quite blocking.

According to Mac OS 10.13 HighSierra (APFS?) client fails - Sierra works - #18 by Falko_Trojahn this is now resolved with client 2.1.17.

If using btrfs as storage, there can also be reflink usage.

I am using BTRFS - but on a Synology NAS; this seems to have quite an old kernel, so is failing the BTRFS detection test.

@orogor

Also, you can usually trust the urbackup beta. They fix a lot of issues, If it s like 2 weeks old and nobody reported a critical issue and thus @uroni didn’t released a new version… i would consider it as stable.

Ok - that’s great to know. I will investigate.

@uroni

You can also use the internet mode locally. I guess if it is running in docker you can simply not forward the ports for local lan mode.

You can also run the client in “internet only mode” (-i).

Thanks uroni - I’ll look into that. Many thanks for such a fine utility!

Best wishes,

Pants.
