If you let it keep going for a while, does the apparent speed (use "-P" instead of partial and it'll do partial and show you the progress) speed up a whole great big bunch? I expect that it will. IIRC, the first few blocks in an rsyncrypto encrypted file are always different, but the rest of the file is the same. -Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
