Hi All,
I have a bash script for synchronizing a flashing drive (target)
with my hard drive (source) I take to customer sites (with a read
only switch so I don't spread viruses).
I currently "rsync" 11 different directories. Each sync line
looks like this:
rsync -rv --delete $MyCDsSource/Linux $MyCDsTarget/.; sync; sync
Problem: it is slow -- takes three hours. To help the
speed issue, I upgraded from USB 2 to USB 3. Backup went
from 3 hr-15 min to 3 hr-5 min. It is almost faster
to wipe the stick and rewrite it.
Anyone know of a way to speed up rsync?
Many thanks,

Hi All,
Reading through the man page on rsync, I find
-c, --checksum skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size
What are they trying to say? Do not do the check sum or
do not do the mod-time and size?
Many thanks,
-T
