In fact, it's sending every file in the folder even if it has not been updated. The current options I am using are -v -rl -e, what is causing this to happen? -- View this message in context:

Hi, I live in Portugal. I have a Windows 2000 server with file sharing activated in my company. I have a linux box with a 200Gb disk for backups with rsync. I make an smbmount to /mnt/w2kbox then I use rsync like this: rsync -ar /mnt/w2kbox /200gb_disk The problem is that we use accents and cedillas and those files are not copied to the backup directory.

Hello all, We're using rsync to move files from a server to a client (an embedded device, connected over GPRS) using a cron script on the client. To accomplish this, we use the --delete-source-files option. As I found in the archives, this doesn't remove any folders. Is there a way to have rsync remove the folders as well? As all data flows over the internet, we encrypt it using an SSH

So the short summary of my problem is, the batch file rsync creates is HUGE for a very small change. The idea is to create workstation image with partimage, update it with some software and send the image update diff over the wire to a large number of destinations over a satellite link, but the batch file updates are several orders of magnitude too large. I don't know exactly how partimage
