If you're simply trying to create a copy of a directory, why not just use
the command "cp -R <source_folder> <destination_folder>"
Rsync isn't the right tool IMHO to simply copy a daily a file from one
place to another.
"Remote Syncronization" only updates the files or dirs tha have changed.
Makes a lot of sense when faced wit having to move a large amount of data
over a slow network link in the event of failure.
Dirvish makes snapshot copies of changed files. So the cron job that runs at
00:30 each night copies changes in files in the 8 vaults (directories or
partitions). What I want to follow that daily update is to copy only the
changed files from bkup1 to bkup2.
The cp -R command would copy the entire contents of bkup1/ to backup2/
rather than copying on the changes to specific files.
