Hello,
I use rsync tocopy personal data to various
different machines for backup purposesand enjoy the robustness of the copy
process.
I was wondering if it was possible to add the
option for rsync to copy the creation date and time as well as the modification
time.
This is really just a
I suspect the standard optimisation - breaking up the rsync into smaller
batches - is not going to work for us. This is our situation:
We rsync two directories in /spool to a backup. They are large: almost 2mil
files in the first dir, with about 4mil hard links in the second one linking
to them.
On typical UNIX system there is no such thing as file creation time;
what ctime refers to is inode change time; Usually it cannot be set by
user-mode software.
So your request could be implemented only on specific platforms. And that would
not make much sense, IMHO.

the expense of having copies of some files rather than hard links.
You can tell whether it's the disk accesses or the
Thanks for your response.
I was wondering if it was a UNIX thing. I am using the cwRsync

wouldn't make much sense.
I guess I best check out robocopy.exe and see if that can do what I need it
to in this instance. For

Yes, rsync can only hard-link together the files that are in a single
transfer.
What version of rsync are you running? Hard-linking
