> So for example check modified, inode number against the previous version. To be honest, I didn't even try this because the destination machine is Windows, I didnt think inode number had an equivalent in windows, but after googling, there might be a way. Another great suggestion. As for the full checksum, I went with a chunk size of the first and the last of the file, (the changes are very small, property based) but I don't think its as reliable.
