I don’t think RsyncP supports –whole-file for receiving. I initially went over to rsyncd because I thought this was the only way to remove ssh, I know different now but the problem is RsyncP, which is used in both transfer methods.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the rsync method doesn't ignore the --whole-file option. Is there a reason why you use rsyncd instead of rsync?

I was trying to see if the –whole-file option in the rsync options avoided the delta xfer algorithm that is not important since it is not transferring over a network. I had a look in the RsyncP code and it ignores the –whole-file option. Could this be implemented in RsyncP since the backup rsync processes are very CPU bound and this slows down backups, particularly full backups.
