Hi I have a file system that contains millions of small files. Since I backup it everyday with rsync using slow WAN link, I think it will be nice that if rsync can do this: An option that let rsync only check with remote rsync daemon about local files that has last modification time newer than one day ago (so is modified since yesterday backup).
