When a file is checked in from RTC, will it only transfer the updated component of the file or the whole lot?

Eg. Customer has a.doc file managed under SCM which is 10MB big. Now customer modifies the file and its is 12MB big -> user check in

Is that mean only 2MB portion will be stored or 12MB will be stored as a new version?

Minimally, RTC will compress the new version, which will normally bring it well below 12MB in storage size. I can't remember whether RTC does deltas only for text files, or also for binary files.

Cheers,
