Windows creates/updates the directory entry and then eventually (most of the
time) fills in the actual file contents.
This applies also to windows accessing SAMBA shares. (That's why I backup my

--modify-window=NUM compare mod times with reduced accuracy.
Windows still uses the old DOS method of storing times, which can't put
the value of the seconds into a 32-bin number, so can only represent
even seco
100Mbps is about 10MBps so 4GB would take about 400 seconds or a bit under 7
minutes.
BOTH sides will have to read the 4GB file and compare results.
Comparing results will be almost instantaneous over 100Mbps LAN.
Getting the results to compare will depend on disk speed and CPU speed.

NTFSHi Tony,the volume was previously a FAT32 before
it was reformatted to NTFS. I've wonderedabout the drive being
dodgy, is it that FAT32 is more leanient in terms of file

guess, but that sounds a lot like a disk drive going bad.
An
error message like The file or
directory is corrupted and unreadable.
There
is essentially no way that an application (including rsync)
can
cause that kind of thing.
You
probably can cause that by messing with the controller
Fundamental difference between unix and windows.
Windows locks against simultaneous whatever.
Unix assumes you know what you're doing.
Unix allows deleting a file while someone is writing to it.
Also, you will likely need to stop BOTH outlooks.
There's usually one running that you do not see.

the last file successfully transferred as opposed to the
first file unsuccessfully transferred.
I think I saw a /var in there
You get something ungodly long trying to rsync the file that is logging the
rsync.
something like
rsync -av --ex
This is entirely guesswork, but maybe, just maybe

(Cygwin does the incredible, but it's still not unix)
There is probably some kind of option so that you see the filenames
and do the rsync from the unixy side.
I think I ran into it do
Me, I'd move to a current version.
Source, ./configure ; make; make install
seems to work fine for me on RedHat 6.2, 7.1 assorted Fedora Core.
Workaround is probably to tar the file and rsync the tar.
(If slow connection, tar both ends)
If it's one file of many, easiest whould be to upgrade.

Daily
and more often than daily.
If you
make just one backup, I'd have to advise against it.
If you
make several (and can stand living "dangerously"), it can be very
effective.

Flames invited if I'm wrong on any of this, but:
Some (long overdue) backups indicate that network speed
should be much more important than cpu speed.
Your results will depend heavily on your exact mix
and I cannot think of any reasonable way to quantify it.
That said, this may help give you a clu
