I notice the anomaly both /home and /public get rsync'ed into $MOUNT/home-public. Could it be that /public has files with the same name as deleted files in /home? (Not to mention the more serious problem that $MOUNT/home-public would contain only files from /public, no files from /home.)
By the way, my own backup script uses the following rsync flags: rsync -avH --progress --max-delete=200000 --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=$EXCLUSIONS_FILE $FROM $TO --- Omer On Mon, 2011-03-21 at 21:39 +0200, Shlomo Solomon wrote: > I have a backup script using rsync.
