I'm not on the list but I just wanted to throw my positive feedback out there. I've been using rsync to backup work that I generate within a lab to an offsite system. If I lost this data ...
So great. In standard community fashion, though, I want to throw an idea out there. It would be nice if there were an option like: --delete-if-too-old Currently I run a cron job which copies files offsite nightly. Once a month, though, I use the --delete option to get rid of cruft. It would be _nice_, though, if I could delete things that were older than a month instead of a simple comparison between what's on the sender and the receiver. This way files would have a known age of 30 days or whatever before they get tossed. As it is, the interval I can regress to has to do with the time of the month, which is just too close to real life ... If there is a better way to submit suggestions I will do so upon hearing about it. Thanks for rsync. I use it every day. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
