I need to backup my ubuntu-VMWare image frequently (5 GBits) . I need to know if exist such a utility (in haskell or not) for single file syncronization. I don´t want to reinvent te weel, but I think that it is a few lines of Haskell using the Diff package or something similar.

You could try rsync and make sure to put it into it's binary diff mode (for local files it sometimes defaults to simple copy). Duncan

Why don't you just run rsync inside the virtual machine? That way, you will avoid unnecessarily synchronising old data from deleted files, or files that have been truncated. A Haskell library and/or GUI for rsync (to allow you to configure all the possible command-line options) would be a nice thing to have. -- Robin
