with tar, yes. with rsync, no -- rsync only recompares checksums.
All right, than perhaps it's good to make only "full" backups with
rsync/rsyncd, and no incremental backups.
What about "smb" method for Windows? Will full backup transfer
everything (as tar would), or will it do some magic and transfer
new/changed files only (based on timestamps etc.)?
If it transfers everything, perhaps it's better to install rsynd on a
Windows machine?
