Bert, if I understand correctly, you are trying to use rsync/DeltaCopy for copying between two Windows machines?
I must admit that I have no experience yet using Win7 in this setup, and for syncing between Windows machines there might be better solutions. Rsync is a well-known protocol in the Unix/Linux world, so using DeltaCopy as a rsync -client- on Windows to copy to/from a -Linux server- made much sense to me and it's actually quite fast here, even on an old 900 MHz P3 Linux server. Rsync actually -does- checksum the files and only transmit the differences so if you update only a tag, only the -changes in the file(s)- are transmitted. Unfortunately, on Windows with DeltaCopy, this process seems to eat a lot of CPU resources it's much faster on Linux machines. I assume that if you are running both a rsync server and a client on Windows, this might account for the bad timings you gave. Can anyone else give us some more info on using DeltaCopy's server module under Windows? I'm sure it can be made working, but it might be overkill for a Windows/Windows copy, and use too many resources. (I prefer using SqueezeBox Server on a Linux box, so I can mainly talk about syncing between a Windows a client and the Linux server. I reused an old 900 MHz Pentium 3 system as a music server, 768 MB RAM, 40 GB + 1 TB internal discs, Fedora 11 (command-line only) and "VortexBox" 0.8 software installed.) -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67013
