From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Klaus Dittrich) Subject: files of length zero Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 17:08:47 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i X-Bogosity: No, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.000000, version=0.10.2 Hi Martin, MS-Windows users here sometimes make the expierience to become files of length zero when something on windows crashes. They often have many files open and after a crash they don't realize that parts of their work gots lost. Nightly a backup-server using rsync, copies those zero length files and thereby destroyes their files backed up the day before by makeing it zero length too. Can you build in an option to rsync that handles files of length zero the same way as deleted ones, so preserving the old file ? -- Regards Klaus ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
