From rsync's perspective, all transfers are incremental. The best way to understand the difference in how backuppc does an increment vs. full with rsync is to look at the arguments that are passed. During an incremental, if the timestamp and file sizes match the existing copy, nothing is transferred. During a full, block checksum compares are done, and the completed full becomes the comparison point for the next run. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
