that being said: if you want to use ionice or similar tools to adjust the I/O load on the client, I suggest that you set RsyncClientPath to a simple wrapper script that calls rsync via ionice. In this script, just check whether --checksum is in the argument list; if it is, you're running a full backup, otherwise an incremental. Again: before solving the problem, make sure that it actually exists. ;-) I wouldn't be surprised if you end up at the *same* ionice arguments for fulls and incrementals... Cheers, Alex
