Thanks for the response. You are using "-n" / "--no-clobber". In my case I'm using "-b" / "--backup" (or overwrite). My use case is to get everything out of the source location, and "--no-clobber" will leave things behind. So I guess I should refine my issue to "when you're not using --no-clobber." Do I have a case here? Or is this erasing both the source and destination a valid behaviour in my case?
