external HDD, switch between local and ssh backup, re-copy everything
Good evening!
I've been using BiT for a really long time and I'm very happy with it.
My "problem":
* Up to recently I've used BiT to make backups to an external harddisk connected via USB (HDD encrypted with veracrypt, ext4).
* Now I've a shiny new raspi 2 (running ubuntu mate 15.04) to which I've now connected the hard disk. I now want to make the backup to it using the ssh-back-up option.
* Having created a new profile and set the correct host, user and profile-number, BiT correctly discovered the old existing snapshots.
* Still, starting the back-up, BiT makes a complete new copy of my files (instead of transferring only the latest changes).
-> Why is that? Can this be avoided? I can't affort having a new back-up done every time I switch connection method.
Any advice is aprechiated!
Running BiT 1.1.4 on ubuntu 14.10
Cheers,
Ulrich
