Does this mean that rsync is constantly comparing checksums on the hypothetical 10,000 files I've stored in the cloud? Sounds like a lot of bandwidth. Or does it list locally the cloud-stored files and check only when there is a change locally?
tks for your help. may be more questions soon jr --Original Message Text--- From: Alex Austin Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:43:26 -0500 rsync sends checksums of files back and forth. When one doesn't match, it uses a rolling checksum algorithm to determine what parts of the file have changed, and send only the changes. - Alex _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
