cygwin rsync windows to windows ACL problem

[Stephen Zemlicka]

Robocopy does copy only the new or changed files.  However it does copy the
whole files (similar to the -W switch in rsync).  I use robocopy whenever I
already have a secure connection (VPN) or when my backups don't include
large (multi GB) database files.  To see if robocopy will work by itself for
you, add the -W switch and see if that's acceptable.  It'll take a bit
longer for changed files but will be just as fast for new files.

Does robocopy handle partial transfers, and backups of changed deleted
files?
My reason for wanting rsync is to maintain a mirror, and accomplish 
incremental backups via --backup --backup-dir=<blah> with rsync.
