Hi,

I'm trying to backup a large partition. About 1.1TB.
The machine is few years old, so the data rate over the wire is about 12 
MB/sec. The first full backup took over 40 hours. The incrementals are taking 
over 12 hours. 

My assumption is that the file time and date stamp are sent over and possibly 
a checksum. This is compared against the previously backed up files.

My using RSYNC as my transport. Is there some sort of archive bit that can be 
set on the source machine to indicate not to even send a file that has 
previously been sent? Of course this would only apply to incremental backups.

Or is there some other way to speed things up?

thanks

Jeffrey
