Hi all
This may or may not be of interest to rsync fans (and by the way many many thanks for all of your help the other week). Here's the situation.. One of the files I want to backup is an rsync container. As it's a container, its' file size is always 100Gb exactly and (I've just checked) that its' date stamp remains the date I physically moved it from its' previous home to my new server - despite the fact the contents have changed daily since then. So if (as according to rsync's man page) the algorithm checks for a change in file size or date stamp - it will determine this file doesn't need attention. Anybody know of a way to bypass this and force it to copy the file every time? It's no great strife of course to just zap the file every time I do the backup (or even add a simple cp to the backup script that runs the job) but just wondered if anyone's come across this before and found a more "elegant" workaround. Cheers Rob
