I think the next release is supposed to speed this up. _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH. 608-558-5926 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I mirror a database containing directories which contain a very large number of files (say 30,000), and sending the file list can often take longer than transferring the new files. (Rsync ends up sending nearly the same file list on every transfer, with only the addition of a few new files.) Has the rsync team considered an rsync option which would remember the last file list on both ends, and only send changes to the list? In my case this would reduce the number of files in the file list from 300,000 per day to under 1,000 per day. Might be a good addition to rsync-3.0. Thanks in advance.
