Hi, I am hoping for some information on the rsync filtering. I went through the rsync man page and filtering options. The filtering options and include/exclude rules are based on the names of the files. I was wondering if there are any plans to support time based filtering in rsync? For example, if I wanted to update only those files that were modified between date1 and date2, would that be a valid rsync scenario? Currently there doesn't seem to be any way to do that in rsync. Thanks and regards, Nithya

No time-based filtering is currently supported by rsync itself. ..wayne..
