Hi, I am testing rsync and it looks as though it is copying over the entire file which doesn't sound right.
System: Windows 2003 Rsync.exe cygpopt-0.dll cygwin1.dll I have just tested rsync with a 571Mb zip file containing our Backup Exec installation source. The command I am running is: rsync -avp --delete --progress --stats /cygdrive/c/rsync_test/ "/cygdrive/Y/" > rsync_log.txt First I copied the file BackUpExec-11D.7170_32BIT_VERSION.zip into both source and target and ran an rsysnc (I didn't have the progress or stats switches on the first run). This is what my log shows: building file list ... 0 files... 2 files to consider ./ Number of files: 2 Number of files transferred: 0 Total file size: 584742597 bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 118 File list generation time: 0.002 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 146 Total bytes received: 32 sent 146 bytes received 32 bytes 356.00 bytes/sec total size is 584742597 speedup is 3285070.77 Then I opened up the zip and added a few extra words to a css file and then ran another rsync. This is the output I received (with the progress and stas switches). building file list ... 0 files... 2 files to consider ./ BackUpExec-11D.7170_32BIT_VERSION.zip 32768 0% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 16482304 2% 15.67MB/s 0:00:35 32735232 5% 15.59MB/s 0:00:34 50429952 8% 16.02MB/s 0:00:32 66846720 11% 15.93MB/s 0:00:31 81887232 14% 15.59MB/s 0:00:31 98074624 16% 15.57MB/s 0:00:30 110133248 18% 14.14MB/s 0:00:32 118128640 20% 12.14MB/s 0:00:37 135299072 23% 12.64MB/s 0:00:34 149061632 25% 12.07MB/s 0:00:35 164102144 28% 12.85MB/s 0:00:31 181764096 31% 15.16MB/s 0:00:25 198770688 33% 15.12MB/s 0:00:24 216334336 36% 16.02MB/s 0:00:22 235372544 40% 16.98MB/s 0:00:20 244023296 41% 14.83MB/s 0:00:22 263716864 45% 15.48MB/s 0:00:20 280264704 47% 15.24MB/s 0:00:19 297828352 50% 14.79MB/s 0:00:18 316997632 54% 17.28MB/s 0:00:15 333611008 57% 16.53MB/s 0:00:14 349667328 59% 16.42MB/s 0:00:13 364249088 62% 15.82MB/s 0:00:13 381976576 65% 15.47MB/s 0:00:12 394887168 67% 14.59MB/s 0:00:12 413597696 70% 15.22MB/s 0:00:10 429490176 73% 15.54MB/s 0:00:09 446267392 76% 15.31MB/s 0:00:08 464551936 79% 16.59MB/s 0:00:07 476577792 81% 15.00MB/s 0:00:07 495681536 84% 15.77MB/s 0:00:05 511803392 87% 15.62MB/s 0:00:04 529793024 90% 15.55MB/s 0:00:03 546209792 93% 16.60MB/s 0:00:02 563937280 96% 16.27MB/s 0:00:01 581697536 99% 16.66MB/s 0:00:00 584742598 100% 15.39MB/s 0:00:36 (1, 100.0% of 2) Number of files: 2 Number of files transferred: 1 Total file size: 584742598 bytes Total transferred file size: 584742598 bytes Literal data: 584742598 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 118 File list generation time: 0.002 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 584814160 Total bytes received: 48 sent 584814160 bytes received 48 bytes 15595045.55 bytes/sec total size is 584742598 This looks to me as though it is transferring the entire file as the sent bytes is 584814160 and I am now confused as it should have only transferred the changes in the zip file, although it does say that it only received 48 bytes. Am I reading this wrong? Thanks for your help. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
