Alternatives to rsync

[reko.turja at liukuma.net]

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Franco and Shane - I will definitely check cpdup out. Georges suggestion is 
neat,
sadly for this usage pattern zfs isn't ideal - lack of memory, files are 
transferred
between freebsd and linux etc. but it's definitely something I'll have to 
remember
for the future.

Greg, I've actually put some thought in making a local port of rsync2. I've 
done
some research on it and it seems to be fairly usable and security patched 
still.
