With --source-backup the tree structure of the original source file is also

That is an idiosyncracy of the quick-and-dirty way I implemented the
source backup, and I documented it in the patched man page.

Oops, I made a typo in the addition to the man page. The fixed patch
is attached.

This patch to rsync 2.6.9 adds a --source-backup
of
directories, but could be a problem for those with a deeper one.
Or am I not specifying something correctly?
Again, many thanks for this.

Essentially you want to move each source file to another directory
after it is successfully transferred.
Exactly.
I'm sure there's a way to accomplish this, but it might not be
simple. I'll tell you if I find one.
Thanks for looking at this Matt.

I have a scenario where I am copying from a local system to remote target and
need to remove the local source files once they have been successfully
transfered.
--remove-source-files works fine for this.
An issue has come up in that I need to be able to backup the removed local
source files

Is this a bug or is the backup option only able to backup deleted target files?
The latter: --backup only backs up files deleted from the target.
Is there another way around this?
