Re: [Question #117829]: Size of signature files 8-80x larger that the diffs

 

Question #117829 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/117829

    Status: Open => Answered

Kenneth Loafman proposed the following answer:
There's no real way to reduce signature size without a corresponding
increase in backup size.  Perhaps you could go to a daily incremental
backup, and a 3-hour rsync snapshot to a local drive.

The problem is that the diff between incremental backups is between one and fifteen megabytes (which I would expect) but the new-signatures file is always around eighty to ninety megabytes.
