See the --compare-dest option. For instance: rsync -av --del /src/ /dest/full/ rsync -av --compare-dest=/dest/full /src/ /dest/incr1/ rsync -av --compare-dest=/dest/full --compare-dest=/dest/incr1 \ /src/ /dest/incr2/ This usage results in only the changed files being placed into the newly-created /dest/incr* dirs. (I.e. you may re-use the "full" dir for the next full backup, but you need to start each incr* dir fresh.) ..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
