I am making an extraordinary claim: rysnc seems to copy all my files, not just ones that have changed or new files.
Use either -t (preferred) or -c (slower). See also -a.

Wayne... Thanks for the reply.
The man pages say -c passes "always checksum" - I thought the whole point of rsync was to checksum the differences between source and destination files. The many examples / tutorials I've found from Googling do not show the use of the -c for rysnc to be effective. (For example.... http://www.devshed.com/index2.php?option=content&task=view&id=56&pop=1&page=0&hide_js=1 )
Is the -a option typically used by most users of rsync?
Many thanks
