Interesting. Does one simply re-run the same rsync command...? or are there options which must be included in the first (interrupted) invocation of rsync and/or the second invocation?
Just run the same command again. By default, it checks existing files by dates and sizes, but if you request the optional crc checksum, then it checksums every file (both source and destination), thus taking a long time. And if you use --del, it will delete files on the destination that were deleted on the original. Careful, --del is dangerous: if you mistake the destination directory it will delete it entirely, as it does not match the source at all... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
