I need to rsync a large collection of files (images) that number in the 1000's. We have 2 repositories, one was mass-copied recently, the other has since had updates performed. The initial copy took over 5 hours to complete ;-) What we want is only to update the destination (old) copy with newer files, delete anything that shouldn't be there.

What I'm trying to determine is how rsync uses resources whilst building the comparison lists.

Does rsync build a file tree to a temp file, or is it doing this in memory?

I checked through the manpage, and didn't see anything that mentioned this - or did I overlook something.


Thanks.
