One thing to consider about any backup program is that when you host the
source and backup on the same machine when the backup runs the computer
has to examine both the source and destination files for changes, which
will eat a lot of CPU and I/O time.

I use CopySynch Desktop free app from www.jpgriffiths.com Nice
application for Windows. Copy/mirror/sync etc. I like the fact that it
copies file dates without modification such that 'new music' (based on
file date) is the same on the back-up as on the main. This is important

I just use robocopy, included with Windows Vista, 7, 2008 & 2008 R2. For
Windows XP/2003 you can download the Windows 2003 Resource Kit
utilities.

Moonbase,
I'm a bit paranoid too, so the my music is also copied to my central
backup NAS, for which I also use DeltaCopy/rsync. And the external eSATA
disk is formatted with NTFS.

Again, slighty off topic, but I use deltacopy/rsync to sync from windows
to my linux server. And, i have an external USB disk on the linux
server, formatted NTFS.
One thing that I've hit is that the ntfs-3g filesystem on the linux
machine (which is what I am using to mount the external usb drive
You're very welcome, Teus! I'm glad that someone else actually uses
Windows/Linux rsync in almost the same setup :-)
I recently switched from my 100 MBit/s to a 1 GBit network and must say
now it -really- shines! Just moving the -changes- within the files
across the network really pays off afte
I use the DeltaCopy (per Moonbase instructions -- thanks Moonbase) and
I'm very impressed. Copying your whole library takes a long time (even
on a gigabit network), but updating is very fast. I've copied the files
for the first time by attaching my eSata drive to the linux server and

well, lets see what you really get.
SATA to SATA is fast enough for me. Ethernet, no way.
USB, I've never tried it

Well, I have built a small Atom CPU based pc which runs Squeezecenter

I can't help you with specificis, but be warned. Copying a non-trivial
music library takes a very long time
Bert, if I understand correctly, you are trying to use rsync/DeltaCopy
for copying between two Windows machines?
I must admit that I have no experience yet using Win7 in this setup,
and for syncing between Windows machines there might be better
solutions.
Rsync is a well-known protocol in the Un
Hi,
Im am figuring out how to get the best backup's of my music files.
I have followed the instructions from Moonbase.
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Backing_up_Your_Music)
But the first problem is that all files copied by Rsync don't have the
right permissions. So when the backup is rea
