Notes:

Solidify JSON digest schema i.e.: time, permissions, etc.
Consider:
- Locked files
- Hidden files
- Uniform file permissions (macOS/Windows/Linux)

Defaulting to assignment of ownership to the user that requested the backup.

Assigning both @mster @nick-nuti as we should agree upon a schema.

mster commented 3 years ago

{
   "path" (string),
   "size" (in bytes),
   "timeLastWritten" (unix epoch),
   "writable" (bool)
}

Closed by #13

nick-nuti commented 3 years ago

Possible future space-saving optimizations:

Convert "timeLastWritten" and "size" from int64_t to hexadecimal to save 2 characters per entry on average (possibility to save even more)
Find a way to reduce "path" character length

Removing "writable" field because it serves no purpose.
