--- Comment #22 from elatl...@gmail.com --- Wow 10 years. Maybe one reason this has not been implemented is there are other options. For example I have been using a shell script as a wrapper to reduce the iteration of this bug, here is how it works: 1) Create 2 lists of files; destination and source with the files sizes and path 2) For each file that is in the destination but not the source 3) Create a subset of the source list containing file of the same size 4) If the subset > 0 hash the destination file and each file in the source subset until a match is found 5) Ensure the dir exists on the destination and move/rename the file. 6) On some systems hash can be as expensive as re-transferring the file so I added an option to move the file if there was one match (only sometimes hashing), and another to skip if more(never hashing). Though as I am re-evaluating my backup strategy I am looking into git-annex and other solutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software#Free_software -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
