we use rsync to move encrypted files with no problems. i would say that's as "complex" as it gets, so you should be fine.

Hiya

I have been doing some substantial research about rsync and the rsync
algorithm.

I was wondering: can rsync backup any type of file? I have tested it with
"common" files Word, Excel, SQL dumps, log files etc

But what about more complex types of files, like vector images etc.

Thank you for your thoughts in advance.
