Rsync only copies the parts of the file that have changed so it can reduce the amount of data you have to to copy. For windows you could use deltacopy or syncrify. pQd 2011-01-08T03:44:40+08:002011-01-08T03:44:40+08:00 you can also give rdiff-backup a try. it has version for windows too. i use it for nightly backups of [in total] few hundreds GB of data.
