I wrote a script that make remote backups with rsync. I have 2 main problems with it
1) I want that the destination directory (on the repository machine) recreate the backed up file path and it permission (I use -R here )
2) Is there a way to "follow" all the links using -R and -a parameters..??
Currently I am using something like this.
rsync -al --delete --copy-unsafe-links --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -R --delete-excluded -vv --delete /etc/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/
Lokk ath some part of the output

and if I see /etc on the source server

Is there a way to maintain the simlinks that the source server have..??
I should use the -R flag to maintain the source server directory structure on the storage server...
Thanks a lot
