A tar incremental looks only at the timestamps on the target directory (and will miss new or moved files with old timestamps). Rsync compares directory entries with the last full run to catch any new files regardless of timestamps and to note any deletions. And it still transfers the entire directory tree before starting. If you have a very large number of small files that never change, you might improve things by moving them into larger zip or tar archives. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
