This might be an issue for a two-way synchronization tool, but not for rsync because rsync is stateless. It decides what needs to be copied based on a simple comparison of the source and destination, not by keeping any information in the source or destination about what copies may have been performed in the past. You can rebuild the first server and the copy will still be properly incremental.
Matt Matt, Thanks so much for your explanation. I am much more at ease knowing the copy I have is good and wont need to be done again.
