Personal project: versioning binary files with the restic chunker

1

Hi all,

Wanted to share a project I’ve been playing with over the last week or so that uses the restic chunker library to version large binary files along the lines of Mats Ekberg’s Boar (https://bitbucket.org/mats_ekberg/boar/src)

(Warning! WIP software ahead!) https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver

Cheers,

So that’s what you’ve been doing since we last saw you two years ago!

Cool project. What’s your driving use case?

Ha! I’ve been using Duplicacy lately (but I do miss Restic’s FUSE support).

I do a lot of work with GIS datasets and related types of data. Usually these are stored as a single file, either in Sqlite or similar, taking up 1’s - 100’s of MB. Not huge, but a moderate number of small edits to a single file add up fast.
