Hi there, I have a problem syncronizing a windows machine with a linux box. I want to backup the "My Documents" folder. Therefore I burned the data on a cdrom because the windows pc is only connected over a slow wan connection to the linux box. When I copy the data to the users home directory (using samba and another windows pc) and run the rsync program all the files are copied once more. I made some tests and changed the ownership and the also the file permissions for the copied data on the linux box but still rsync wants to transfer all the data, even if they look exactly the same after the transfer. If I use rsync to copy the data for the first time everything works fine.
On the windows machine (Win2000 SP3) I run rsync 2.5.1 protocol version 25 in a cygwin environement. The linux box runs RedHat 7.3 with rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26. The connections runs for security reasons over a ssh tunnel. Is there a simple way to burn windows data on a cdrom, then to the right directory on the linux machine and run rsync without transfering the whole data once again ? Please help and thanks in advance. O.
