Speed up Changes Only Backup

[rado]

As I understand the manual the #0 files created during a backup is a hash of the full image, and are used to speed up the creation of the current as well as future differential/incremental backups based on the full image. I assume that means that you only have to use the "Speed up Changes Only Backup" option when creating the first differential/incremental backup?

When making differentials you would only need to use it when creating the full base image since the full will always be the base image. When making incrementals you would use it for every backup since each incremental image will be the base image for the next incremental.

OK, then I must have misunderstood how it works. I've used it when making the differentials, but not when making the base image. That won't have any effect at all then, as far as I can see?

it only affects the next backup - so if you don't use it on the first
backup, then next differential won't find one to use, if you created one at
that point, the next incremental based on the differential would use it,
etc..

Ok, thank you!
