rsync --archive --delete --partial-dir=/tmp/rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/data /backup/host/ On the remote host, I have: -rw-rw-rw- 2 user group 509 Jul 25 17:19 A test file -rw-rw-rw- 2 user group 509 Jul 25 17:19 A_test_file On the local host, I have -rw-rw-rw- 1 backup backup 509 Jul 25 17:19 A test file -rw-rw-rw- 1 backup backup 509 Jul 25 17:19 A_test_file When the file is 509 bytes, it's not a problem, but with big files, I need twice the disk space and twice the time to backup. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (66, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
