I'm looking at rsync --help, but not sure AFAIK the only information that rsync uses to determine if a copy exists is in the file that you have on the destination side, eg, timestamp, the filename, etc. It's not like it has a separate database or something. Have the timestamps changed, eg, the destination timestamps are the times the copy was written? I usually use the switches avz. -Andy
