Sounds like --write-batch will do what you want. Assuming you are using rsync 2.6.3 (I would not recommend earlier rsync's batch support). So run this on h2: cd /tmp rsync -av --write-batch=foo h1:/src/ /dest/ Or _alternately_, this on h1: cd /tmp rsync -av --write-batch=foo /src/ h2:/dest/ Then, burn /tmp/foo and /tmp/foo.sh onto DVD and take it to h3 and run this: cd /mnt/dvdrom ./foo.sh Or, if you need a different dest, this: cd /mnt/dvdrom ./foo.sh /different/dest/ That's the simple version. You aren't required to use the foo.sh file if you want to run the appropriate --read-batch=foo command yourself on h3. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
