With the following rsync settings: cd /home/lina_backup rsync -R -v -z -rlptgo --delete \ --password-file=password \ --include-from=include --exclude="*" \ --backup --backup-dir=./`date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d` \ rsync://root@lina/backup current
I would expect the backup directory to be /home/lina_backup/2001-12-29. But it becomes /home/lina_backup/current/2001-12-29. Is this a bug? (Am I abusing the rsync command by trying to use relative paths and shouldn't do this?) BTW, will my settings clobber a file if something goes wrong with the rsync? Or will the existance of the backup directory make certain that if the rsync doesn't work, it at least keeps the older copy of a file?
