Rsync is great. (What is cp? What is tar? Since I started using rsync I forgot how to use those tools.) I sync over 1,000,000 files (50G) to multiple destinations every day. Over medium speed links it takes about 3 hrs. The default mode of operation creates a hidden (.file) on the destination w

Isn't there some solution that doesn't have to explicitly list every variable name? I think that's asking for future bugs; just because there's an instruction in a comment doesn't mean people will remember to do what it says when they add a new variable. - Dave Dykstra On Fri, Dec 28, 2001 at

rsync makes exact copies of filesystems. It's a mirroring tool, not a backup tool. It stores the information as a filesystem, and if it's not allowed to save group and user id on the filesystem, it doesn't. Perhaps you need an archiving system? maybe doing incremental backups? That said, if
