I have set up DCE-incremental backup along with DCE-frontend. I'd like to back up a server that has a lot of messages and media spanning almost a decade now.
This has proved to be a challenge as the download takes very long (more than a week at least) and if it is interrupted for any reason there's no real way to resume from where it has stopped.
One solution I see that can work with the existing DCE is to download in chunks, for example downloading each day separately and keeping track of the chunks that finish downloading successfully in a file. Then, if an export gets interrupted dce-i can simply refer to this file and skip the completed chunks, only redownloading the one that got interrupted.
