Re: What happens if a lot of files change when the DFSR service is down?

Hello Matt,

DFS-R uses differential compression which allows only changes to a file to
be sent over the network. If the service goes down and then starts again, it
will start comparing based in diff compression and it will determine the
most recent changes.
