Hi,
we are developing our joomla sites locally.
Usually, we are updating site contents always on local site, then we manually sync with the remote site using ftp & phpmyadmin.
In some cases (eg. bandwidth limitation) it can be a waste of time, because we are replacing the entire site & DB, regardless of the contents changed (normally we change 1-2% of the whole site).
Is there joomla extension or external tool capable of sync only changed contents?
I have searched on the JED but nothing seems to meet my needs.
Regards

There's been talk around here recently of
JoomlaPack
... but I don't think that's going to save you any bandwidth.
Aside from writing something yourself mate, I don't think you're going to have much joy. The database part is easy, finding which files to replace (using a filesize match for instance) could be a bit hit-and-miss.
Honestly, I'd just keep chewing bandwidth. I think that the time spent trying to write something to do the job properly will cost you 3 times as much as you could ever use in bandwidth. - Ragdata's Rubber Duck

Thank you ragdata,
JoomlaPack seems to meet all my needs, i will try him and report feedback later in this thread.
The following is extracted from the official site, from the "why to use" section:
Move your site between hosts. Do you want to move your site to a new hosting service? Would you like to set up a staging site, an exact clone of your live site where you can test new components and layouts? Do you want to debug a site without putting it offline? JoomlaPack comes to your rescue! With its renowned technology it is able to restore your site on a different host than the one the backup was taken from, even on a different platform (e.g. from a Linux host running Apache to a Windows Server host running IIS).
