I just followed the instructions on the website and got it working. I am using it to mirror 30Gb's of mailboxes everynight (only grabbing the changes to each file), from a Windows 2000 box to a Linux box (RH9). The nightly replication takes approximately 8

Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage when using RSYNC in windows 2000 server? I am using the rsync.exe (and applicable DLL's) from the cygwin installation (I am not however running cygwin on this machine). The linux machine connecting to the windows rsync daemon has a very low performance hit when the session is running (see below). However, the windows machine, which has a much

I was just about to say something about this on the list, so I'll do it in reply to your

I am rsyncing 1tb of data each day. I am finding in my testing that actually removing the target files each day then rsyncing is faster than doing a compare of the source->target files then rsyncing over the delta blocks. This is because we have a fast link between the two boxes, and that are disk is fairly slow. I am finding that the creation of the temp file (the 'dot file') is
