Re: [PLUG] Rsync command fail

[Tomas Kuchta]

I am not sure how you got to the backwards behavior, perhaps you have no
deleted what you thought you deleted.

I would run your rsync command this way though (adjust your options as
needed), mind the /
rsync -a --progress  /media/jjj/Movies /media/jjj/Synology/

Hope it helps, Tomas

The object is to make the Synology a mirror of the USB drive
(/media/jjj/Movies).

I deleted a folder on the USB drive, ran the command, and the folder
was replaced on the USB drive. This is backwards. What am I doing wrong?

wild guess: try reversing  /media/jjj/Movies/ and /media/jjj/Synology in
your rsync command?

[PLUG] Rsync command fail

I have an external USB drive that I back up to a Synology NAS drive
with the command:

rsync -rptog --progress --stats --delete
--exclude-from=/media/jjj/Movies/rsync_exclusions /media/jjj/Movies/ 
/media/jjj/Synology

The object is to make the Synology a mirror of the USB drive
(/media/jjj/Movies).

was replaced on the USB drive. This is backwards. What am I doing wrong?
