Dear Folks, Is there a documented case of earliest use of rsync over internet? I presume rsync was used almost as soon as internet was invented as a file transfer and bandwidth efficient backup solution. If anyone has any information, please respond. -- Raghu Kulkarni
My guess would be that it began to be used after it was written - long after the internet was "invented". If you look at the original tech report, it was (I'll hazard a guess) after November 1998. Just FYI, not all the good software was there from day one. That's why people like Andrew are so handy. :-) Cheers, -Pete ----- Peter L.

Rsync is a rather new Unix/Internet application. You might want' to look at the BSD tools that predates it. Like rcp and rdist. /Hans Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "raghu" <raghu@pro-softnet.com> To: <rsync@lists.samba.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 2:01 AM Subject: earliest use of rsync?> Dear Folks, > > Is there a documented case of earliest use of rsync over internet?
