The -include-from=/tmp/BACKUPFILE is short a dash, causing it to be
parsed as -i -n -c -l -u -d --rsh=-from=/tmp/BACKUPFILE . Change it to
--include-from=/tmp/BACKUPFILE .

If /tmp/BACKUPFILE contained a directory e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /tmp/BACKUPFILE
3/
How would I get it to copy everything under and including
/var/data/shares/vmbackups/3/? and delete everything else on the
destination? The guys running the backup to /var/data/shares/vmbackups/
are considering copying the files direct rather than sticking it into a
*.bkf and have it create folders like 1/, 2/, 3/ with files and folders
under that.
I came up with running this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /tmp/source/
1/ 2/ 3/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -t1 /tmp/source/ | head -n 1 > /tmp/BACKUPFILE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /tmp/BACKUPFILE
3/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -t1 /tmp/source/ | grep -f /tmp/BACKUPFILE -v >
/tmp/BACKUPEXCLUDE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /tmp/BACKUPEXCLUDE
2/
1/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -ah --numeric-ids --stats --delete-excluded
--include-from=/tmp/BACKUPFILE --exclude-from=/tmp/BACKUPEXCLUDE
/tmp/source/ /tmp/destination/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /tmp/destination/
3/
Which works and copies the subdirectories and files but is there a more
elegant solution without the need for the /tmp/BACKUPEXCLUDE file?
I think i'll rename /tmp/BACKUPFILE to /tmp/BACKUPDIR :)
Apologies as they only just decided this today after I came back with
the solution you helped me with.
