But lately this has been taking too long. wouldn't the fact that you are reading lots of information from the usb drive be slowing you down, why not run your --verify-at-time on the local disk repo. and then when using rsync from local to usb us the -c option to let rsync do a checksum on the files, but yuo are still going to run into the slowness of USB drives > > Does that make sense? > [snip] > > BTW, is this documented?
