I am a frequent recoverer using --partial in the rsync from the current Mandrake and have never had one moment's trouble, otherwise I would not recommend it. The --partial option is standard in our troels.rsync6.2.pl and its predecessors and no one has ever reported any trouble. Your information must be very old. -- Ron. [au]
