Darryl Dixon has put together a continuous mirroring system around rsync. See this message: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-August/018329.html Contact him if you want a copy. > Can rsync keep the data encrypted rather than unencrypting on the other end? > Let me explain better.

You could (1) encrypt the source files to another directory and then copy that directory or (2) get a copy of rsync including the experimental patch source-filter_dest-filter.diff and specify the encryption program of your choice as the --source-filter. Using the second approach, your script to call rsync might look like this (-bf means to use Blowfish): export PASSWORD=foo rsync --times-only --source-filter='openssl enc -e -bf -pass env:PASSWORD' <...> Matt
