Enhancement: Restore files with many zeros as sparse files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On all platforms except Windows, the restorer may now write files containing
|
||
|
|
long runs of zeros as sparse files (also called files with holes): the zeros
|
||
|
|
are not actually written to disk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How much space is saved by writing sparse files depends on the operating
|
||
|
|
system, file system and the distribution of zeros in the file.
