Before anyone yells at me, yes, you can use rsync's --checksum to detect (and fix) files that are incorrect despite having correct timestamps and sizes. This would mean that a previous rsync had been corrupted not the current one. But it is important to note that this would only be reported to you if you also use --itemize-changes and what to look for (a file with a c but not an s or a t).

...tical data it is something of concern; that is what prompted this question. I don't need this high level of fidelity of most data, just a small subset. The use case is: * Create raw data * Move to backup location very reliably. * Delete original data set. Thanks again.

Hi I am using "rsync" to send files from a source machine to a remote machine as one typically does. I would like to clarify that the "-c" option will cause the checksum on the receiving end to be created by reading the already written file and NOT the data stream on the receiving end. This would help in catching disk I/O errors if the checksum is done on the file on disk.
