Subsequent fulls could be even slower. The client side still has to walk the directory tree and then read all the content. The server side also has to read and uncompress the existing version. For small files on a fast network that may take longer than sending the content. If you enable checksum caching, after the 2nd full the server won't have to uncompress and compute the block checksums for unchanged files but the client still has to read them. Incrementals should be faster, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
