Can MSDeploy deploy only new or changed files?

I intend to use the web deploy feature of ASP.NET 4.0 for my site. Does anyone know if this feature does incremental deployments (i.e. only deploy changed or new files in the solution)?

Thanks

Solution

  • Yes it does. It is really fast, also for solutions with many directories.

    I've seen the deployment time of a big solution being reduced from 30 minutes to about 5. For smaller projects, the incremential deploy is done within seconds.

    Edit: Due to several call backs: Have a look at this screenshot: enter image description here

    Check out the radio buttons. (The image is taken from an article about web config transforms, that I've written in the past. Check out this link if you want to see the context of this screenshot)
