No, you don't want to eliminate -t, as preserving timestamps is the only way rsync has to quickly decide if a file is changed or not (if you had used -p with the initial cp command, you couldn't have needed to use --size-only). I'd also suggest adding -p (--perms), if needed. See also -g (--group) and -o (--owner), which might be needed. > And what I don't seem to be able to figure out is how to get rsync to > give me a list of the files it updates or backs up. I thought a single > -v would do that, but apparently not. Yes, that's what happens. Perhaps you left off -t from one copy, and noticed that rsync re-copied the older files (due to them not having their timestamp preserved). You can use -i (--itemize-changes) to see an itemized list of what rsync is changing, and what caused a transfer to happen. ..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
