Hello !
I want to do a backup of some Win98-Workstations to a Linux-Server. I
compiled rsync for Windows using Cygwin 1.18 and the instructions in
win95.txt. All worked fine, but it is terribly slow !!!
For testing purposes I took two machines, one with linux, the other
with linux and win98. I want to sync the Windows-Partition of machine
two with a directory of machine one. In this partition there are about
1.6 GB of data. The link is a 100 MBit Crossover-Cable.
Doing a
rsync --delete -arvW . one::rsynctest
with Win98 it takes 49 Minutes. The same command with linux takes only
16 Minutes. Why this ??? I certainly deleted the data on one before
doing the second test.
Is there a way to speed up the Windows rsync ? Some Compiler-Options
for Cygwin-gcc or even the Cygwin-dll. Or is there a way to compile
rsync with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 ?
It would be nice if someone could give me some hints !
Thanks in advance !
Dirk
