But with rsync over ssh, that's not very strictly related to real-world results. Except in the case of new files, rsync is only going to send changes that may take little bandwidth but can trigger a lot of slow disk activity reconstructing the new copy. And if your bandwidth is the limiting factor you can add the -C option to ssh for compression. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
