Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

I’m probably going to invest in some hardware to get powerful enough VMs.

I have a company issued laptop and work for a Microsoft partner.

It would be nice if they’d give me an AVD session or twelve.

The daemon tracks file state, so the transfers start quicker because rsync doesn’t have to scan the filesystem.

This ethereal concept titled “Work” is pointing a pistol towards me.

But yeah. Windows is trash. I’m going to go submit resumes and buy lottery tickets.
