Perhaps there's a difference in rsync arguments? In particular, "--hard-links" ? BPCv4 default arguments: $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--super', '--recursive', '--protect-args', '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--times', '--links',

Look again at your RsyncArgs, they don't match the defaults [1], though obviously your system may justify it: -o, --owner This option causes rsync to set the owner of the destination file to be the same as the source file, but only if the receiving rsync is being run as the

If I remember correctly (my BPC installation is now retired), all you need to do is enter your existing user uid/sn in the hosts file. I think you want per-client "More Users". These will probably need to be specified individually for your existing clients, but I'm sure you can add it to the

All, Thanks for the suggestions and links. There's a lot of interesting reading to be done. But as noted, checksum matching and storage latency are probably prohibitive. I hope to have access to a colo with gigabit bandwidth in the near future. Maybe I'll spin up an instance just to see how it

By default, I think that smbclient uses SMB1 on most systems, and it's definitely disabled by default on Windows. You can force it to use SMB2+, but I'm not sure what version of smbclient has it enabled. On Sat, Aug 31, 2019, 6:12 AM Benjamin Toll wrote: > On 08/29/2019 16:28, Bob McClure Jr
