I have been using rsync on my laptop for some time to safeguard an extensive image collection. My usage has been: .. rsync -av --delete ~/Pictures /media/disk I have found this exceptionally fast ... just as advertised!
I now have set up a new computer system where I want to back up my /home to a sata drive. My phrase for this is: .. rsync -av --delete /home/david /media/Sata Which appears to be identical to my earlier usage .. but .. rsync appears to be totally rewriting the backup and instead of being able to get a quick refresh, the backup is now taking an hour or more. Any idea what is going on? David -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
