You're very welcome, Teus! I'm glad that someone else actually uses Windows/Linux rsync in almost the same setup :-)
I recently switched from my 100 MBit/s to a 1 GBit network and must say now it -really- shines! Just moving the -changes- within the files across the network really pays off after the initial copy, of course. And I much agree that good old "cp" is much faster for the initial backup! ;-) Another hint: External (backup) USB discs should be NTFS-formatted. This allows for swapping them between Windows and Linux systems without getting into any character set troubles if you use extended characters in filenames, like I do. The ntfs-3g driver for Linux seems to be stable enough not to mess up anything at least it has never let me down. *Remember:* If you use the 'rsync solution from the wiki' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Backing_up_Your_Music), you -need- to install the mentioned cygwin patch for Windows otherwise you'll end up with messed-up filenames! (For reasons lying within cygwin, the filenames with extended characters will -look- messed-up in DeltaCopy's rsync status window but will be fine on disc and that's what counts.) -- 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
