We are studying ver 3.0.5. So there are three states: 1) append_mode = 0, NONE append mode. 2) append_mode = 1, "--append" If file size on the receiver is the same or longer than the size on the sender, the file is skipped 3) append_mode = 2, "--append-verify" This works just like the --append option, but the existing data on the receiving side is included in the full-file checksum verification step > The > option is also disabled if a file is being fixed during a redo event. I didn't get it. Can u help to explain a little bit more? Thanks. But I still doesn't know why "append_mode = -append_mode" in those files? generate.c #line2102,2127 > append_mode = -append_mode; receive.c #line503,513 > append_mode = -append_mode; send.c #line248,254 > append_mode = -append_mode; > > ..wayne.. --- Daniel -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
