When I dont specify --block-size but have --write-batch=xxx, I get a xxx.rsync_csum file that is 76 Kbytes in size. The size of the file varies as the size of the "reference" file is varied. --stats showed matched data that is roughly 6 block lengths based on the square root of the newer file. I copy the original data back to the target directory so that I can repeat t...

rsync+ is ready to go onto HEAD. Could Jos or somebody else who's used the feature before please prepare a few paragraphs for the manpage explaining how they work? Either send a patch to the .yo files or just plain text. Thanks, -- Martin

...to file size and acceptable failure rate. In the formulas, he assumes that the block size is square root of file size. I have done some benchmarking of rsync and for large files (ie. 1 -55 Gigbytes for example), the block size is larger than a square root of file size. This is based upon the xxxx.rsync_csums file size produced when you --write-batch=xxxx. I have done some calculations assuming that a check sum per block is 20 bytes (32 bits + 128 bits) and 24 bytes (assuming there is an extra 32 bits of overhead data) and the number of checksums appears to be square root of file size divided by a numb...

...f all the files of the level 0 backup and a second option to use the level n checksum to calculate the delta batch files for the level n+1 backup. After a deeper look into the batch mode I saw that it is too specific to that kind of application for which it has been written. The contents of the *.rsync_csums files seem to be always 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 ... instead of the real checksums. I think that the batch mode would be more useful (at least for the incremental backup) if it worked like rdiff: an option to save checksum, one to calculate and save the de...
