Bug ID: 11423 Summary: rsync 3.1.x is creating empty backup directories Product: rsync Version: 3.1.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: a...@univ.kiev.ua QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Running the command $ rsync -a --delete --backup --backup-dir=../old source/ dest/ with version 3.1.0 gives the output Created backup_dir ../old/ even when no files are copied to the backup directory. I usually add the current time to the backup directory name, which means I end up with many empty directories. With version 3.0.9 of rsync, a backup directory was only created if needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
