Unison doesn't use rsync. As far as I know, Unison uses a rsync alike algorithm which is bidirectional, while rsync is only unidirectional. > Some small amount of time will be saved by not updating the > display during copying, as Unison does, some will be lost in ssh > encryption. Unison is still reading much data over my WLAN. Even in "fast check mode"! So comparing 20G data takes a loooong time (up to 10 minutes) even is no new / changed files where found. > The best gain will be in separating current/recent data from older data, > if your work allows it. I've though about this, but I'm afraid that I forget to start a sync in the case the older archives have changed. My first idea was a daemon which uses the inotify protocol of the kernel to get informations which files has changed. But this only works on local file systems. Changes on the server side would be invisible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
