Peter, I haven't used either for backup / synchronization. I have used rsync to correct the md5sum on a large downloaded file (a .iso), and I lurk on the rsync mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] I sure both have there pros and cons. It sounds like rsync may have some difficulty dealing with deleted files -- that is deleting a file deleted on the laptop from the backup. I can't readily recite any details, but it may be something you want to dig into. (I think it's a problem for most backup tools.) Randy Kramer
