RBD Incremental Backup
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This is a simple streaming file format for representing a diff between
|
|
two snapshots (or a snapshot and the head) of an RBD image.

Metadata records
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Every record has a one byte "tag" that identifies the record type,
|
|
followed by some other data.
|
|
|
|
Metadata records come in the first part of the image. Order is not
|
|
important, as long as all the metadata records come before the data
|
|
records.
