I have a lot of files (and directories) (up to a few hundred at a time) that I get from various sources. Some time after I get them (after they are already backed up), I often have to move them around and normalize their names.
When I do this, rsync sees them as unrelated to the copies of these files which are already on the backup destination. When I can't use the --delete option for various reasons, this causes multiple copies of the files to be saved in the backup destination. I see that there is a --fuzzy option which, specified twice, may address this issue. Is there a tutorial or howto that addresses this so I can better understand it before I start experimenting? I don't want to have to reinvent strategies which, doubtless, already exist. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
