I use rsync a lot in crontab to back up directories.
with the -ah options I have never had a problem, but recently added -R.
Anyway rsync is very good at figuring out if any files on the source has
changed only copying those to the destination.
But now I am doing source directories with thousands of files in
multiple sub-dirs that may not see any changes for days on end.
rsync seems to figure this out fast and terminate with nothing to do.
But is there some way to evaluate the source and see if any changes have
occurred since the last rsync (or some time) and only trigger rsync
accordingly?
Maybe I am just trying to fine-tune something that really does not need
it. but maybe I will learn something.
thanks!
