Incremental file updates over a network, NFS?

[Mac User FR]

Rsync works on a client/server system. So it's recommended to install  
rsync on both machines (your and the server), so you bypass NFS and  
connect to the server via rsync protocol. That's the way to use the  
delta incremental algorithm.
