Sorry, but you can't sync data without sending data. And these few megs is the actual data I generate daily. > Consider all the disk I/O required.

Wrong. In default mode, rsync only care about timestamp and size. It will not go on hashing crusade unless explicitly told to. > Can you really handwave away megs of network I/O and potentially gigs of > disk I/O? Do you never use locate(1) instead of find(1)? Same issue. I normally know where my stuff is, so I don't need to `find` or waste space on `locate` hash tables. > On top of that, the OP wants to do this every time the machine becomes > idle.

VSS would be the right way, but I still did not find time to research its extents. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Saturday, July 11, 2015 05:35:21 Sorry for my terrible english...
