Hi Alex,
Thank you very much indeed for that link. I was actually considering
using find -0 together with --files-from, and making find to list only
files that were changed some time ago -- but first, this would probably
break hardlinks, and second, despite most of the files in question are

files-from is part of the command.

With this two options on a very live system you may need to take into
account this bug as well I reported a while ago:

Due to this I'm currently not using --ignore-missing-args /
--delete-missing but rather -exclude=* -include=- and a autocreated
Those options are for handling files/dirs that are specified on the
actual command line they have nothing to do with files vanishing while
rsync is running. The correct solution is to simply ignore exit code 24.
BTW, this is what filesystem snapshots are for.

Dear All,
We sometimes have to replicate large "live" filesystems with many (
sometimes millions, up to few hundred millions ) files on them. (
Copying actively used files is of course a bad idea, but it really helps
to keep the delta small, so one final transfer can later save the day. )
