Rclone can "sync" with a range of different ways to check if the existing files are the same. If no hashes are available (e.g. WebDAV) I think you can set it to check by timestamp (with a tolerance) and size.
Edit: oh I see, delta transfer only sends the changed parts of files?
- newsoftheday 9mo agoIt only sends the changed parts of files (the diffs) is my understanding which saves bandwidth.
- mnw21cam 9mo agoHowever this is only really good for slow connections. If your connection is faster than about 50MB/s then the delta calculation mechanism becomes the bottleneck. On fast connections you should use the -W option for rsync which switches the delta algorithm off.
- newsoftheday 9mo agoSaving on transmitted bandwidth costs is more important to me than speed of transmission for my use cases which I feel are likely to be common use cases.
