I was planning to use rsync to backup to a second drive, but I ran out of swap space. No problem, I will let rsync do it a few directories at a time overnight when the computer usually sits idle except for incomming email. I have 2 question: 1. How much memory does each file to be copied need. Obvisiouly I have too many files. 2. Why does this command work: rsync -ax /usr/xx /backup/usr/ when: rsync -ax /usr/xx/ /backup/usr/ refuses to create the directory xx in /backup/usr and copies the contents of the directory to /backup Happens on both 2.4.7Pre4 and 2.5.0 just released. Thanks Ian
