According to the 'rsync' man page:
rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but
has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to
greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file already
exists.
!! The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the dif-
!! ferences between two sets of files across the network link, using an
!! efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report
that accompanies this package.
IMHO, 'rsync' copies only the deltas.
I've no trouble with this.
Liebe Gr��e, Nora.
