By default, rsync decides it can skip transferring the data from a source file to a destination file if the files have the same size and last-modified time. Did you preserve last-modified times when you extracted the files onto the backup machine? If you used tar, the times should have been preserved by default.
If not, there are two ways you can fix the problem. Extract the archive again on the server, preserving modification times. Or, if you're pretty sure that none of the files have changed on the source machine, run rsync once with the "--size-only" option, which will make it conclude all the files match and change the times at the destination to match the source. Future transfers would see the matching times and skip unchanged files. -- Matt McCutchen, ``hashproduct'' [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mysite.verizon.net/hashproduct/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
