I'm going to have to digest this for awhile. It makes sense, but I have to work on it a bit before I understand it enough to actually apply it. This would make a good howto article. Thanks to both of you. On 11/17/2014 04:56 AM, Matthias Schniedermeyer wrote: On 16.11.2014 18:38, Karl O. Pinc

Using --fuzzy

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

The backups can be on separate partitions. What must be on one partition is the file and it's hard link. On November 16, 2014 6:58:26 PM CST, Joe jose...@main.nc.us wrote: Great idea which I will keep in mind for other cases! In this case, however, the backups are on separate partitions on

Problem using --fuzzy with --*-dest flags

Hi, I'm trying to get the --fuzzy option to work with --compare-dest with rsync 3.1.0. I'm testing with two files. C_VOL-b001-i3818.spi and C_VOL-b001-i3816.spi are copies of one another, but I've modified the latter a bit with a hex editor as a test. The modified date is still the same. This

I've been reworking my backup script decided to give some of the newer options a try. It would appear I've found a combination that doesn't play nice. $ rsync --archive --delete-during --fuzzy --hard-links --numeric-ids --quiet --sparse --temp-dir /backup/helium/ --link-dest
