Ooops I wouldn't do that. Try
#rsync -ahv --modify-window=3601 linux1::home/rdrive /home/ ie only look at files more than an hour only or if the file size has changed. I copy from a Windows server to a Linux backup so I use: set CYGWIN=nontsec set bw=1500 rsync -azP --exclude-from=D:\excluded.txt --delete-excluded --delete --modify-window=3601 --bwlimit=%bw% [EMAIL PROTECTED]::share/ /cygdrive/h/windowsserver/share -- Stuart Halliday ECS Technology ltd Registered in Scotland - #212513 -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
