I've tried the following commands:
rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup rsynctest [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module
rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup --suffix="" rsynctest [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module
and either way, I wind up with a tilde as a suffix on all the files moved into the backup directory at time of synchronization. According to the man page, if --backup-dir is specified, the default suffix should be a null character - but that's not what I'm discovering; I'm discovering that I CANNOT find a way to specify no suffix. I can successfully specify a DIFFERENT suffix - such as --suffix=.rsync - but I can't manage to specify no suffix at all.
For reference, I'm issuing the rsync commands from a Windows 2000 laptop using cwrsync (based on rsync 2.6.0), and the server on the other end is a FreeBSD 5.1 machine running rsync 2.6.0 from the ports tree.
Thanks ...
