Sounds to me like you're doing it all wrong either way ... |

What is *supposed* to happen is that you have the daemon running on one |
| 26 |
machine and the client on the other - doesn't matter which. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then the client tells the daemon what files are to be copied, THE TWO |
| 29 |
COMPARE CHECKSUMS, and only the stuff that fails the checksum is copied. |
| 30 |
So if you're doing an incremental backup, network usage and writes are |
| 31 |
kept to a minimum. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I tell people to an in-place backup if they're running on a snapshot |
| 34 |
setup, because again it only writes stuff that has actually changed. |
