Your version of Zlib might be in the 5.8.5 subdirectories (or whatever version you had previously) of /opt/local/lib/perl5 which is not being included. Maybe reinstall Compress::Zlib to get it in the right place. Tony On Jan 11, 2008, at 2:06 PM, James wrote: > Thanks for your response. >

right, a FULL rsync will not transfer the data but will do the block checksum. If you do an incremetal backup rsync will just list files, check their timestamp and size and be done. I find that on any filesystem that changes the timestamp on write that rsync incremetals are perfect. I actually d
