Claim:
1. A method for determining whether to create a delta file reflecting differences between a base file and a revised version of the base file, the method comprising: obtaining, by a computer system, one or more system parameters relating to resources of the computer system; determining, by the computer system, a threshold change amount between the base file and the revised version of the base file, wherein the threshold change amount is determined based on the obtained one or more system parameters and wherein the one or more system parameters comprise parameters indicating available network bandwidth, storage space, and CPU processing capacity; determining, by the computer system, whether differences between the base file and the revised version of the base file exceed the determined threshold change amount between the base file and the revised version of the base file; and in response to determining the threshold change amount is exceeded, avoiding, by the computer system, completion of the delta file and transmitting a copy of the revised version of the base file for replication purposes.
