   It's the same outcome: a single generation.  OTOH the clensing function on the   
   target is useful, to ensure an exact mirror of the source.  I don't recall   
   rsync doing that[shrug]?   
      
   They do the same job: Left or Right hand sort of thing.  I found mirdir first,   
   and have found the logfile(s) most informative.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
