Hi, I am using rsync to backup files. Is it possible to specify an option not to delete files from backup directory if the files are deleted from source? In that way, I can always keep something I may or may not need in the backup disk, but remove it from a work computer. Thank you. Kind Regards

The --backup option in GNU mv, and GNU cp extend the behavior of the -b option in a significant way, I believe. "--backup" allows specification of versioned backups, especially numbered backups, e.g. The old version of file, foo, becomes foo.~N~, where N is a decimal number. There is no

Hi, I have question about the behavior of --backup-dir with --delete-after option. In my testing with version 2.6.4, it appears that the backup option only backups altered files. Files that will be deleted on the destination system will NOT be placed in --backup-dir location. I

Carey, What you are seeing is, in fact, the case, but the function that creates the dirs is robust_move() in backup.c The backup option captures files and/or directories that are deleted or changed between syncs. So, if a directory is *changed* (deleted/renamed/moved), then the directory *and

permissions bug w/ --backup-dir or --backup option?

2001-09-18 Thread Carey Jung
Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as well
