I am running rsync in cygwin on windows. I am attempting to backup a somewhat large data store (750GB) to a remote site. As its windows and preserving permissions exactly is important, I have an iSCSI drive mounted on the local system across a somewhat slow WAN link (IE, it would take about 3 months to copy the datastore over it). Unfortunately, since this appears as a "local" copy to rsync, it always copies whole files. Even though it is a "local" copy, I want to only send diffs, as we have large files that have small changes daily. Reading the man page, and everything I can find on the net I don't see an option to force diffs only/rsync protocol, is this possible? <br><br>Thanks,<br>Tom<br> <br /><hr />Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
