Thanks
But how do I get rsync on a winddoze system?
Or are you speaking of using it via Cygqin?
Thanks!

rsync works on windows and it works by comparing the source and
destination.

rsync -avn sourcedir destdir

The -n tells it not to change anything, the -v is verbose.  If the two
are identical you won't get any output.
