Yes. But, for the initial sync, I tend to prefer a tarpipe which is a lot quicker. ( cd /srcdir && tar cf - . ) | ssh user@somehost '( cd /destdir && tar xf - )' Add 'z' to the tar arguments (on both sides) if you have reasonable CPUs and your data is not already compressed (don't bother for MPEGs, JPEGs, etc.; or if one end of the transfer is an embedded system). Once that has run, or if it was interrupted, I finish off with an rsync just to be sure. (others have already commented on your rsync arguments.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
