Hi, using the attached script to implement an incremental rotating
backup of my home directory
works fine if I run it myself, however if it is run as root the --
link-dest fails and all files are
recreated rather than linked to. Can someone explain the problem to me?
I'm using rsync version 2.6.5
on
Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0 (OS X Tiger)
Thanks,
Simon.
