hello, I'm new to this list. here is my question:
I would like to synchronize two computers (say the home one and the job one) using zip drives or similar (cdroms, etc), since modem lines are quite slow and expensive (in Italy). I though I could produce the "signature" of files on home computer, store it on a zip, go to job, run rsync to copy the missing or altered files on the disk (possibly in zipped form) and produce the new signature file, and repeat it once at home. I think this could also be seen as a backup system (on cdrom or similia). Is this feasible with rsync? Is there a better approach?
