I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user/ What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server /home/user/something.tuesday /home/user/something.friday I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that? I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user/ Thanks! -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
