Rsync has no such option. You may be able to put the destination on a fixed-size loopback-mounted filesystem image. Also see if --only-write-batch helps. If you tell me more about what you are trying to achieve by transferring only 200MB of data, I might have better ideas. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
