rsync copies everything always
« on: May 10, 2007, 12:55:42 PM »
Here's the deal.  I have rsync set up on my home machine with cygwin, and I'm running rsync on the remote server to back up data on my home machine.  The problem is, when I run it, it copies every file over.  Always.  Or at least it lists every file in verbose mode, instead of just copying modified content.  In any case, it's a lot slower and uses up a lot more bandwidth than I think it needs to be.  Any idea how I can fix it?  Here's the command line I'm using:

rsync -e ssh -avz /var/www/html/* jitspoe@jitspoe.dyndns.org:/cygdrive/c/web/dplogin/rsync_alt/var_www_html 2>&1 >> rsync.log 2>&1
