after using another mirroring system which may not preserve timestamps
exactly.
dit(bf(--modify-window)) When comparing two timestamps rsync treats
the timestamps as being equal if they are within the value of
modify_window. This is normally zero, but you may find it useful to
set this to a larger value in some situations. In particular, when
transferring to Windows FAT filesystems which cannot represent times
with a 1 second resolution bf(--modify-window=1) is useful.
dit(bf(--modify-window)) When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the
timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than the modify-window
value. This is normally 0 (for an exact match), but you may find it useful
to set this to a larger value in some situations. In particular, when
transferring to or from an MS Windows FAT filesystem (which represents
times with a 2-second resolution), bf(--modify-window=1) is useful
(allowing times to differ by up to 1 second).
dit(bf(-c, --checksum)) This forces the sender to checksum all files using
a 128-bit MD4 checksum before transfer. The checksum is then
