In April Michael Zimmerman wrote about a proposed behavior change whereby the command-line specified suffix would be attached to the backed-up file even when a separate backup directory is used. Right now the suffix is ignored if backup directory is used. Original message:
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-April/006693.html Any progress on this change Michael? I was astonished to discover that rsync works in the present way and not the proposed way, and consequently I am stopped in my tracks in developing a new application for rsync. I think the current behavior should be considered a bug, especially since it is not mentioned in the documents.
