Alright guys, you're my last hope. Currently I am trying to create a rotating backup system. I have a remote server which I've patched to work with the -E option. Anyhow, the remote server has the backup and I'm trying to use --link-dest against it. Here is the command I'm running.
sudo rsync --dry-run -e 'ssh -l root' --delete -auE \ --link-dest=../backup.0 \ /Users/frizop/ \ 10.0.1.127:/home/rsync/Laptop-Backup/backup.1/ What happens is rather then check backup.0, it picks up /root (on the remote side) as the dest and wants to wipe out everything in there. I've also tried sudo rsync --dry-run -e ssh --delete -auE \ --link-dest=../backup.0 \ /Users/frizop/ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/rsync/Laptop-Backup/backup.1/ --link-dest=/home/rsync/Laptop-Backup/backup.0 and about 100 diffrent attempts. The closest I can come to getting it right is doing [EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup/DIRECTORY but then it fails with all sorts of permission errors. If I remove --link-dest it will properly preform a full backup, and if I replace backup.1 with the previous directory backup.0/ it updates it just like normal. Also, if I replace SRC and DEST with local filesystem paths, it works fine there too. Thanks in Advance guys.
