There's no problem with that. Rsync doesn't care if the files are copied over by it or by any other copy method -- it makes no difference at all. For maximal efficiency, make sure to preserve the modify time for the files so that rsync will more quickly figure out which files are identical between the two systems. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
