I run a nightly script that rsync's my Mac to my Linux backup server.

I ran out of room on my backup server. So I started to investigate. I found that the /backup folder on my backup server was almost twice as big as the directory that I was backing up. I looked at the files and found stuff in the backup that I had deleted on the Mac a long time ago.

Apparently RSYNC is not deleting, or at least not deleting everything.

This command I am using:

rsync -az -e ssh --delete --exclude-from=ExcFile /Users/jonathan [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/home/jonathan/backup


Can any rsync gurus out there tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jonathan
