You can extract from the archive as it +existed at any time in the past. "Incremental", means that when you back +up your entire hard drive, for example with: + + zpaq -add e:backup.zpaq c:\* + +only those files whose last-modified date has changed since the previous +backup are added. For 100 GB of files, this typically takes 1-2 minutes, +vs. a few hours to create the first version. "Deduplicating" means that +identical files or fragments are stored only once to save time and space. + -- cgit v1.2.3
