Incremental recursion works per directory. If all those 450.000 files are in one directory, then incremental recursion won't help. The number of items isn't the problem because rsync would first have to find all the files before deciding to use incrmental or not by your reasoning, which would sort of contradict the purpose of incremental recursion :-) Paul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
