Yes, that's the way rsync currently works. I'm considering making --compare-dest and --link-dest affect symlinks and devices, but it only affects regular files at the moment. As for all the directories, it would take some kind of a lazy dir- creation option to avoid creating directories that were not needed to hold the non-directory content. I think that would be fairly easy to create, but no one has coded it up yet. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
