The only, but probably important, case where this is usefull is, when backuping Outlook PST files offsite.

But rsync considers files as binary data, no? Do you mean dealing with special characters in file names? That's something I hadn't considered. I ultimately went with xcopy in my Windows environment, too. John: thanks for the input. But rsync considers files as binary data, no? Do you mean dealing with special characters in file names?

It requires some extra work if you are using cyrillic charecters or non-ascii charecters in your environment. based on this and a few other articles I think I'm going to start using xcopy in pure windows environments. thanks you failed to mention that rsync doesn’t have extended charater support out of the box when used on Windows.

Over 50 years, that percentage of 20x folks doesn't seem to have changed, unless it's grown even smaller. One reason: 50 years ago, you didn't get into programming unless you LOVED it. Nowadays, lots of people still do it out of love, but hordes more do it because it's supposed to be a good job. If you're going to be one of the 20x people, learn to LOVE what you do, or learn to move on to something you do love, or change the job you're doing in some way to make it more lovable.
