Hi Neil, > In the rsync man page. > > rsync -ax ~/ /mnt/extdisk/myhome/ > > should do it.
On which file of cron shall I add following line to rsync /mnt/extdisk/myhome/ quarterly? 0,15,30,45 * * * * rsync -ax ~/ /mnt/extdisk/myhome/ Whether -u update will do incremental copying for those files having been updated 0,15,30,45 * * * * rsync -aux ~/ /mnt/extdisk/myhome/ What about those files have been deleted on ~/ ? Which option should be up to delete the same files on /mnt/extdisk/myhome/ simultaneously. TIA B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
