Hello,
My directory structure is:
/dir1/dir2
I created a repo and backup in dir1 and then I created a repo in dir2 with the same storage. When I did a backup, it still uploaded some chunks (Not many, around 20% of the total dir2 size). Shouldn’t the deduplication prevent this, i.e. just metadata upload because all the data is in the dir1 repo?
Thanks,
Moshnic
Duplicacy packs files together and then splits them into chunks, so a single chunk may span multiple files. When you back up dir2, the first few chunks and the last few chunks will become different, while most of the middle ones will remain unchanged. You can pass a smaller chunk size to the init command to reduce the ratio of changed chunks (but note that a smaller chunk size means higher overhead when uploading to cloud storages).
