Re: [netcdfgroup] increment copy of growing netCDF file?

Joe,

Would rsync (http://rsync.samba.org/) work for this case?  I depend on
it heavily for periodically synchronizing files (including netcdf files
being appended every minute) from remote sites.

I've always assumed the bulk of the netcdf file does not change, only
perhaps the header and the records at the end, and so rsync only copies
the blocks that change.
