bandwidth and time shaving restoration: compare blocks/files before over-writing #58

cyphertite does an awesome job of dedup and only xfering data to the servers when it is not already at the servers

cyphertite is blind when it comes to not xfering data back from the servers if the local filesystem already has the data its attempting to extract from the servers

I'm thinking of the equivalent of:

rsync -rvclP cyphertite://tiny.media/. /home/todd/media/.

and only the blocks that are not local already are retrieved from the server
