Rsync works on a client/server system. So it's recommended to install
rsync on both machines (your and the server), so you bypass NFS and
connect to the server via rsync protocol. That's the way to use the
delta incremental algorithm.

Hi list,
can anyone point me at some consise info on when rsync is capable
of performing incremental updates
of binary files? I need to rsync over a network, and currently I
have this over an NFS share but I suppose
that even if binary updates are possible there not going to do much
good as reading the remote file over
NFS to check what needs to be updated will use the same bandwidth
as copying the whole file.
But to be honest, although I've tried to read up on it, Im still
not really sure how rsync achieves incremental
coping of files so Im not in a very strong position to
speculate! ;) If someone could enlighten me that
would be great!!
thanks, Andy.
