I don't see any reason why that should happen in what you've presented: you should be ending up with /backup/etc and a /backup/root directories after the two rsync commands have completed. You can use the --itemize (-i) option in newer rsync versions to ask rsync to tell you why it is updating files (e.g. if the files are missing or differ in size and/or time). That may give you a clue as to what is happening. ..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
