My problem is still that rsyncP with rsyncd as client still retransmits 
unchanged files. I reduced the testcase:

1) Full Backup. All files are transmitted, This is the logoutput from the 
client:

2009/10/22 21:35:44 [3820] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:35:55 [3820] rsync on . from baggub@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:35:56 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) 
.musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 <f???????
2009/10/22 21:35:57 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) 
.musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 <f???????
2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) 
.musikproject/musik_u.db 28868608 <f???????
2009/10/22 21:39:32 [3820] sent 28836048 bytes  received 61235 bytes  total 
size 29028217

As you can see, roughly 30 MB are transmitted.

2) Incremental backup:

2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] 192.168.5.9 is not a known address for "localhost": 
spoofed address?
2009/10/22 21:40:46 [3940] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] rsync on . from baggub@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:40:57 [3940] sent 212 bytes  received 674 bytes  total size 
29028217

Almost nothing is transmitted, as the client only checks the timestamps.

3) Another full backup: This looks exactly like the output to 1). All data is 
sent over the wire again. Rsync summary states that about 30MB are transmitted.

4) Experiment:

For testing, I added "--checksum" to the {$RsyncArgs}. I rerun a Full Backup 
again:

2009/10/22 21:55:09 [2172] rsync on . from baggub@unknown (192.168.5.9)
2009/10/22 21:55:10 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) 
.musikproject/musikCube_u.ini 1913 <f???????
2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] send unknown [192.168.5.9] docsnsettings (baggub) 
.musikproject/musik_collected_u.db 157696 <f???????
2009/10/22 21:55:11 [2172] sent 158068 bytes  received 762 bytes  total size 
29028217

Interestingly, this time, only the two small files get retransmitted, the big 
one is left out.

I then restored my configuration to include the complete client pc, keeping the 
--checksum parameter. Sadly, now all I get is fileListReceived errors on the 
server, so this didn't help either.

And for the records, I tried both rsync 2.6.8 and 3.0.4 on the client.

Craig, is this expected behaviour? Why does the full backup retransmit 
everything everytime?

Thanks
Harald
