It sounds like you might be interested in Unison:

Another option would be to rsync with a hard-

Hi Timothy,
I'm trying to find out more about this. May I ask, are the files you see
sent even when they haven't changed regular files, or directories, or
both?

Hey Scott,
I'm Mike Rubel (author of that snapshot system page)--I haven't heard
about this cygwin issue before, but this would definitely be worth adding
to the FAQ. I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with it!

or comments? I'll stay tuned for a couple of days, and then make a note
on the website, since this is something other potential implementers will
need to know about.

Hi Tripp,
Glad you saw J.W.'s patch; this business of unlinking before a metadata
change would be nice, but I'm not sure how to do it without introducing
yet another patch!
Best regards,
Mike

It seemed like this ought to be possible.

This brings up an interesting question. Does anyone use

I'm going to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my website:

By keeping multiple rotating backup "snapshots", you can protect yourself
should one or more of them get hosed, and you still won't need a huge
amount of extra storage.

Hi Martin,
First of all, thanks *so* much for all of your work on rsync. It's a
really terrific tool, and I seem to keep finding new uses. :)

Hello all,
I've found a simple, rsync-based trick to emulate the "rotating snapshots"
feature found on some file servers, and hope that members of this group
will find it useful and/or interesting:

Hello,
I suspect a minor bug in the file rsync-2.5.4/backup.c line 206.
To identify too-long pathnames, it makes the following test:

I think that the constant subtracted off should be 2, to account both for
the forward-slash and for the
