My problem is still that rsyncP with rsyncd as client still retransmits unchanged files. I reduced the testcase:
1) Full Backup. All files are transmitted, This is the logoutput from the client: 2009/10/22 21:35:44 [3820] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9) 2009/10/22 21:35:55 [3820] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9) 2009/10/22 21:35:56 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) .musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 <f??????? 2009/10/22 21:35:57 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) .musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 <f??????? 2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) .musikproject/musik_u.db 28868608 <f??????? 2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] sent 28836048 bytes received 61235 bytes total size 29028217 As you can see, roughly 30 MB are transmitted. 2) Incremental backup: 2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] 192.168.5.9 is not a known address for "localhost": spoofed address? 2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9) 2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9) 2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] sent 212 bytes received 674 bytes total size 29028217 Almost nothing is transmitted, as the client only checks the timestamps. 3) Another full backup: This looks exactly like the output to 1). All data is sent over the wire again. Rsync summary states that about 30MB are transmitted. 4) Experiment: For testing, I added "--checksum" to the {$RsyncArgs}. I rerun a Full Backup again: 2009/10/22 21:55:09 [2172] rsync on . from bag...@unknown (192.168.5.9) 2009/10/22 21:55:10 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) .musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 <f??????? 2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) .musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 <f??????? 2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] sent 158068 bytes received 762 bytes total size 29028217 Interestingly, this time, only the two small files get retransmitted, the big one is left out. I then restored my configuration to include the complete client pc, keeping the --checksum parameter. Sadly, now all I get is fileListReceived errors on the server, so this didn't help either. And for the records, I tried both rsync 2.6.8 and 3.0.4 on the client. Craig, is this expected behaviour? Why does the full backup retransmit everything everytime?
