If I use : rsync --delete -va dump/* remote::home to mirror a local directory containing several files to a remote server then these are copied as expected. However, if I delete a file in 'dump' and do the command again then this file in 'remote' is NOT deleted. But this works: rsync

I am working with individual files that can be as large as 100 Gig and I exclusively use the push model. When there is a broken pipe (usually a time out or a temporary network problem) it would be nice if the local end could attempt to reopen the pipe and resume building the file. I know this

I dont agree that you have to always use -c. I have done extensive testing without it and then repeated the tests with it to see how much load it puts on the servers. In my tests when I am not using -c, I send the resulting file back to the system that originated it but to a different directory

Problem in using rsync

Hi I use rsync to perform backup on disk on a SunFire 880 with Solaris 8. For performance issues, we launch simultaneously 5 rsyncs on 5 different fliesystems and about 150-200 cp -p commands on as many database files. We have been using the same scripts for about 2 months, without problems.
