Re: Memory consumption for rsync -axv --delete

You could probably use CIFS, NFS or sshfs.  It wouldn't be as fast, but the memory requirements should be less. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device Original message From: John Long Date:2016/03/25 04:10 (GMT-08:00) To: rsync@lists.samba.org Cc:

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You will have an old backup dir and a new backup dir. The new one will contain all the current stuff. The old one will contain what was current the last time you ran rsync. Just rm -rf the old one. Or keep a few. Or a few dozen. On 03/27/2016

Thanks I'll look this up. There is still the issue of how to get the target box cleaned up since I can no longer run --delete. /jl On Sun, Mar 27, 2016 at 02:49:02AM -0400, Kevin Korb wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > You miss-understand the purpose of --link-dest.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You miss-understand the purpose of --link-dest. Yes, it gives you multiple complete backups, but each only consumes the disk space needed to store files that are unique to that backup. Files that are the same in 2 backup runs are actually the same
