If it's open source, why don't you just make it available
on sourceforge.net (or similar), or give it to the rsync guys
to dump somewhere on rsync.samba.org?

 I don't know of any such flag, but it would be easy to add one.

Perhaps as a special case, if you rsync a single file,
and the file is a special file, then assume that the user
wants to copy the contents.

Re: Rsync help needed...

  Matt I have strange results to report I transferred 300 oracle datafiles of
 total 30 GB in size. Using the option  rsync -zv --no-whole-file --stats
 it took 1:15 min and using rsync -cvz options earlier had took 1:25 min so
 there wasn't much time savings I thought it would be a big difference since
 the files are there and only little is modified (header info) + additional
 datafiles.

My guess is that the number of files and size dominates; since even for a 
small change, rsync has to write the entire file.

You could try the (unsupported, not included?) --in-place feature,
available in a patch somewhere.

Re: Possibility of merging rsync and tar

2005-09-12 Thread Matthew Hannigan

Joerg Schilling's s-tar does incremental backups:

(dunno why that page is 'old' or 'private' but it seemed
like the best page off google)
