What I mean is that I think each backup is (probably) independent of each other.
A diff is shorthand for difference, as well as an old tool that hilights the differences between files. It was commonly used in patching once upon a time. I'm not sure if rsync implements diff directly, but what can be said for sure is that rsync at least implements s8milar behavior.
Thank You.
