Hi,
I use rsync with such options:
OPTIONS="-a -u -z -v -S --delete-during --ignore-errors \
-b --backup-dir=${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY} \
--exclude-from=$IGNORE"
rsync $OPTIONS ${PATH_SRC} \
${PATH_BACKUP}/current
Everything works as it should be, deleted files are transfered everyday
to a new catalog, determinated by a variable ${DATE_YESTERDAY}.
But if an empty dir is deleted from ${PATH_SRC}, then it is
accordingly deleted from ${PATH_BACKUP}/current, and don`t appear in
${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY}.
Do you know what to do it to make empty dirs be transferred
to ${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY}?
You could use an extra pass at the beginning to back up all dirs about
to be deleted, whether they are empty or not:
rsync -ni ${OPTIONS} ${PATH_SRC} ${PATH_BACKUP}/current \
| sed -rne 's#^\*deleting (.*)/$#\1#p' \
| rsync --out-format='backing up %n' --files-from=- \
${OPTIONS} ${PATH_BACKUP}/current ${PATH_BACKUP}/${DATE_YESTERDAY}
