tighter backups
« on: October 29, 2010, 12:27:26 pm »
If you have a huge world that's had multiple embarks in the past, the directory size gets into the GB's. For the seasonal backups, why duplicate the whole thing? You can cut HD space to just which files have been/could be updated from the current embark.

Except that you could corrupt your entire save in one go. However maybe this could be done as an init?
