Mirroring re-copy all the files without check

Post by ptrroot »

Hi,

Thanks for this great software.

I found that when I set Relector to mirror (my internal drive backup to my external drive backup to be taken home), it actually recopy everything even if 99% of the files are not different!

I thought that if the time and the size of the file would be the same it would skip the copy and make a mirror operation much faster but no. It takes hours, when it should take minutes.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Pierre

Is your task incremental or differential?
