Hi Chris, I think (I'm not sure) it's using a high level tool like diff/rdiff. I will contact the developers of snapper anyway, since my project is simular to theirs. But what I'm asking is is there a lowlevel tool to give you a list of blocks where two versions of one file differ. I'm asking since btrfs keeps track of the blocks where files differ, and where they are the same. So a lowlevel call to the btrfs filesystem.
