Client should transfer the file hash when files haven't updated #20

Open runt1me opened 1 year ago

Even when files have not changed, it could be beneficial for the client to send a message to the server indicating that the file given by the particular MD5 hash has not changed. Then, the server can note the time as a "last seen" sort of timestamp (as opposed to the "last backed up" time of the file, when the file actually changed).

Estimated story points: 5

Probably better, we could also have the client send a single check-in request indicating that the backup has complete, and that it observed that have not changed since the last successful backup.

Backup started and backup complete requests from client to server. This could be reportable in Stormcloud Web/Analytics.

Also, should be more brief in the logging that gets written to client logfile during this process.
