Hi all, I have a setup where the disk is filled with great files. I would like to use rsync to backup my data, but when rsync detects a file with different content it starts to copy the matching parts of that file to a temporary file and transfer the differences only and finally replaces the original with the temp file. Of course this is the normal behaviour of rsync, but when there is not enough free space on the target disk for the duplicate rsync fails.
I have read the manual, google'd around and have not found any way to solve this thing with rsync. Is there any way I could tell the rsync to not use this method, so not duplicate but delete the target file and transfer the whole? I am currently deleting some files from the target just before rsyncing, but this is an ugly hack I think. Thanks!
