Wanted: Incremental Backup Solutions that Use a Database

The article is a technical request for open-source incremental backup solutions that utilize a database instead of hard-link directories. It explains the performance and memory issues with hard-link-based backups, such as excessive inodes and slow filesystem checks, and argues that a database-backed approach is more efficient and scalable for enterprise-level systems.
