Title: RE: Can rsync handle any type of file?
Hello all,
I'm new on this list and sorry in advance for my english.
I wonder to know why rsync would corrupts a file ? Is there a reason
making that possible ? After all, all files are just a group of bytes.
Best regards.
Michel

The way
the algorithm works, the answer to 1 is yes. i haven't used it enough
to answer 2.
In technical terms, is rsync capable of dealing
with backing up any type of
file then? In practical terms, has anyone had any corruption problems
when
backing up files?
Thanks
