Re: --compare-dest not working for me. what am I doing wrong?

Hey Matt, Relative --*-dest paths are interpreted relative to the destination directory (as stated in the man page), so you should use: rsync -av --compare-dest=../b a/ c/ tried that too, same result for me: mkdir a b c echo foo > a/test echo foo > b/test rsync -av --compare-dest=../b a/ c

Hey. Can anybody spot my mistake? mkdir a b c echo foo > a/test echo foo > b/test rsync -av --compare-dest=b a/ c/ Expected results: no copy of a/test to c/test, since it is already present in b. Actual results: a/test gets copied to c/test What is wrong here? My expectation? my syntax? I'm

what am I doing wrong

I am seeing some rather strange behavior with synch of 2 directories on the same system using 2.6.2. The older file is the image of a full backup and is 29Gig in size. The new image is a slice of an incremental backup and is 101Meg in size. the command line is: time /home/wally/rsync/rsync-2.6.

Re: --delete, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks Wayne! Both options worked well -- upgrading clients to 2.6.0 or using /. instead of / to specify the root directory. Perhaps a recap for the regulars here, but maybe useful to some -- I found that I only needed to upgrade to 2.6.0 on the remote/source side. Upgrading to 2.6.0 on my back

--delete, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry if this is a boneheaded question. I'm stairing at it and can't see what I'm doing wrong: On machine B, I'm trying to mirror all of machine A and want to delete files that have been deleted off A since the last sync. I run: rsync -av -e ssh --one-file-system --numeric-ids --relative --delet
