Rsync after moving

Question

Backup

Hello.
The situation is this: I moved to a new server and after settling in a new place I decided to make a backup.
For this case, I used a batch file, which merged data from the old server with rsync.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe" --progress -avz --delete -h -e <остальные параметры путей>

Everything seems to be ok, but only now the download of ALL files begins.

The old server was FreeBSD, the new one was Debian.

Tell me, please, how to force it to merge only new and changed files?
Thank you!

Answer 1

check the time settings on the servers, maybe the time zone is set incorrectly?
ps backup is the copying of all files, there is the concept of incremental backup - this is a backup copy of those that have changed since the last backup (or the specified time), the simplest is tar, there are keys for specifying the time of the last change and much more.
Also, are you trying to backup by running a utility on a windows machine that transfers data between debian and freebsd? Isn't it too heterogeneous? try to exclude at least windows, at least differences in acl (uid of users and groups differ) can spoil everything.
