Hi All, I run:
rsync -a -l --delete -v /mnt/Business_dir /media/sdf1 to back up a directory from a PC to a USB stick. However, from a cursory look this *seems* to copy the complete directory (every time I run it) and overwrites the USB stick. Carrying on like this it will life-expire the USB stick in no time, plus it takes ages to complete as it copies over every single file again and again. Is there a cleverer option I can add to rsync so that it only copies new files, overwrites older versions of the same and only deletes any files or directories that have been deleted from the source directory? -- Regards, Mick
