i've started running an image dump for en.wp using a version of trickle with large-file support (the last one died after 2GB). if this works i'll set up regular image dumps again along with the db backups.
Can you set it up so it can be rsync'ed ?
do you want to rsync the tar file of all images, or the image directory as its stored on disk?
i don't see any benefit from the latter, and the former is not something that's feasible right now, although it may be doable in future...
It will greatly save your bandwidth and mine, at the expense of some CPU.
we currently have a lot more problems in terms of CPU(/disk) use than bandwidth, particularly in the area of images & the dumps service.
Cheers, Andy!
