However, I was able to add a job to copy yesterday's file with today's name before the nightly rsync job runs. Only run it once, but I've gone from 12+ hours to 2 hours. Utterly amazing.

Who would I ask to add something to the fuzzy algorhythm? I'd like to see it be able to cope with SQL Server files, which look like: dbname_db_yyyymmddhhmm.bak so, provided the backup starts at the same time every day, you'd have mike_db_200411152034.bak mike_db_200411162034.bak Thanks! -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
