Rsync needs to be run twice and isn't that great at mirror syncing.

Delta Copy:
There are times I use deltacopy locally. I have a couple clients backing up
to removable hard disks with it. Just start the server service on the local
machine. For the server's ip, type in 127.0.0.1 or localhost and you can
backup locally with deltacopy. Deltacopy is the best gui for windows
Does robocopy handle partial transfers, and backups of changed deleted files?
My reason for wanting rsync is to maintain a mirror, and accomplish
incremental backups via --backup --backup-dir=blah with rsync.

Yes, mapped drive, kindof, it's a netbios default share, but essentially the

I don't think so. Let's get terminology out of the way first. The computer
sending data is the client and the computer storing the backups is the
server. Rsync needs to read the whole file stored on the server to know
what data the client needs to send. Since you are only running rsync on the

I'm not sure. If you can run the daemon on the server, you should. My

Are you thinking of incremental recursion? It interleaves file list
and file data transmission but does not decrease the total amount of
