I have a backup script using rsync. I've included part of it below. For some reason, everything seems to work OK except that files don't get deleted from the backup copy of /home (I've marked the problem with a comment). Since the params I specify on all lines of the script are the same, I can't see any reason why the /home directory would be handled differently.
Any ideas? rsync -rlvtogS --delete /boot $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /etc $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /root $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /sbin $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /tmp $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /usr $MOUNT/system rsync -rlvtogS --delete /var $MOUNT/system #### next line doesn't work properly rsync -rlvtogS --delete /home $MOUNT/home-public rsync -rlvtogS --delete /public $MOUNT/home-public rsync -rlvtogS --delete /data2 $MOUNT/data rsync -rlvtogS --delete /data1 $MOUNT/data -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.13.3 (KDE 4.4.3) on LINUX Mandriva 2010.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
