Before I retired I was using rsync to backup many gig of data across a wan connection and also used the compression switch. Very good program. Also the trailing "/" is only needed on the source not the destination.

Which is better for backup dump or rsync? Jerome
From the man page, may be it does ext3 as well:- dump - ext2 filesystem backup If you use dump on reiserfs, you'll see some strange happenings, guaranteed, rsync and unison are filesystem agnostic and are easy to use. Regards Sid.
