Hello,

Has anyone tried out the enhancements of rsync 3.0 yet?

"The 3.0.0 version number is such a large bump up from 2.6.9 due to the
addition of an incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot with large
transfers)"

"    - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is
talking
      to another 3.x version.  This starts the transfer going more quickly
      (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory.
      See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions.


    - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to
a
      3.x rsync.  This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is
      the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible
with
      the new incremental recursion mode."

This might improve the performance in conjunction with BackupPC

Has anyone used this windows-binary of rsync:
http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_pag
e&PAGE_id=6&MMN_position=23:23

It is open source and is linked on the Rsync website.

Greetings,
Hendrik
