I never used rsync before but If I understand correctly : rsync hashsums the files in src and dest and checks for file lists . It removes and adds files according to the file lists and compares the hashsums of existing files . If the hashsum is different , It replaces the files in dest with the ones in src .
Rsync is not a binary delta implementation .
At least the wikki says rsync *is* a binary delta implementation. If only parts of a file is modified then only those parts are sent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync Regards ppk
