Reducing Data Transfer

From Entuura

Jump to: navigation, search

Some of the use cases for Entuura call for moving 1 megabyte Access MDB files around.

One user told me that they send the files monthly, and always send year to date info, so the file grows through the year.

Boy, it sure would be nice to only send diffs of those.

Here's a tool that can look inside MDB files: Search for "DbWeigher"

When you search for Binary Patch Programs on Google you get lots and lots of commercial hits. I haven't looked for open source yet.

Hans Boot mentioned that there are well-known (to him) ways to handle this problem.

The answer, I believe is rsync, mike@baobabhealth.org
