Yes, it is by design since you just omitted the directory in the arg list, and rsync can't assume it should delete args that don't get mentioned on successive commands. Rsync only deletes inside directories that it sends, so either put the items you want to backup into a single directory and send that single directory (perhaps using excludes to avoid sending too many dirs), or see the following message for how to delete things remotely: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg11823.html ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
