I am running rsync in cygwin on windows.  I am attempting to backup a somewhat 
large data store (750GB) to a remote site.  As its windows and preserving 
permissions exactly is important, I have an iSCSI drive mounted on the local 
system across a somewhat slow WAN link (IE, it would take about 3 months to 
copy the datastore over it).  Unfortunately, since this appears as a "local" 
copy to rsync, it always copies whole files.  Even though it is a "local" copy, 
I want to only send diffs, as we have large files that have small changes 
daily.  Reading the man page, and everything I can find on the net I don't see 
an option to force diffs only/rsync protocol, is this possible?  

Thanks,
Tom
