They use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link">hardlinks</a> to save copies of only modified and deleted files. Unchanged files remain as hardlinks to the original.</p> </div> <p>In each snapshot task, RsyncUI stores the next snapshot number. The number increments by one after each run. Rsync automatically creates the next snapshot directory, and RsyncUI updates the stored number. The number is displayed as part of the log timestamp.</p>
