Is /home/chamberl/backup empty? Or does it have files already? The --link-dest option is designed to work into an empty hierarchy, as the presence of a prior file causes rsync to update that file rather than look for a match in the link-dest dir(s). Are the files in the oldbk and source dir identical clear down to their attributes (time, ownership, permissions, ...)? ..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
