Sorry, I don't understand how to sync over NFS or sshfs without rsync. Can
you explain this please? I don't want
emory consumption for rsync -axv --delete

You will have an old backup dir and a new backup dir. The new one
will contain all the current stuff. The old one will contain what was
current the last time you ran rsync. Just rm -rf the old one. Or
keep a few. Or a few dozen.

Thanks I'll look this up. There is still the issue of how to get the target
box cleaned up since I can no longer run --delete.

You miss-understand the purpose of --link-dest. Yes, it gives you
multiple complete backups, but each only consumes the disk space
needed to store files that are unique to that backup. Files that are
the same in 2 backup runs are actually the same fi

If you were using --link-dest to make multiple backups you wouldn't
need --delete because the target is always a new empty directory (with
- --link-dest pointing to the previous backup run).
So, you get the benefit of having multiple backups to restor

Hi,
I have been using rsync for many years and never had any kind of problem.
Lately I am running out of RAM trying to do an incremental backup to a box
that only has 2G of RAM. The entire directory structure I'm mirroring is
about 200G of files. A minority of subdirectories have many files.
