Just starting out with rsync, and I think I might be missing a fundamental point of how it works.
Scenario:
I start an rsync daemon on host A, and define a module 'test' on the rsyncd.conf file. 'test' is essentially my home directory on host A
I then sign on to host B and issue
rsync --progress --recursive --links --stats arthur::test/ /var/tmp/haggis
This copies 'test' from host 'arthur' (host A) into /var/tmp/haggis (on host B)
so far so good. Everything goes to host B no problem.
Next I edit a small file in 'test' on host A, then reissue the rsync command above. All files are checked and transferred according to the summary at the end. Am I incorret in assuming that only the delta of the before and after of the one small file I edited would be sent, rather than the entire directory tree defined by 'test'?
Remember, I'm using rsync to copy *from* a host running an rsync daemon...would this be the issue?
Confused and probably missing something simple .... any ideas?
Thanks!
