When I do
rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \
/dir1/dir2/dir3 machine:/dir1/dir2/dir3
I get /dir1/dir2/Backup/dir3/...
/Backup/dir3/dir4/...
i.e. the tree under 'dir3' (my source tree) gets created
under .../Backup. This is fine.
But when I do the same thing with a single file like
rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \
/dir1/dir2/file machine:/dir1/dir2/file
I see that I get
/dir1/dir2/Backup/dir1/dir2/file
instead of
/dir1/dir2/Backup/file
In the latter case, why is the entire tree (from root) recreated in
the backup-dir instead of the simply the last component like in the
former case?
Am I making sense? I hope so.
Why the inconsistency? Any way around it?
Thanks
