I agree. If deletion reporting is to become part of rsync (when invoked with the dest option --link-dest option), then I would suggest that an additional option is used to enable this deletion reporting. The additional option for such reporting should be required because, rsync is not deleting anything. ------------ This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution. http://www.lbackup.org -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
