Many, Many Thanks for this Matt! Seems to be working great so far.
Just one question though. My initial tests with --backup-dir and -b had just the file being backed up to the specified dir. With --source-backup the tree structure of the original source file is also being included in the --backup-dir directory. example: rsync --remove-source-files --source-backup --backup-dir=/arc -av /home/dir/file remotehost:/dir/file results in the backup file being put in /arc/home/dir/file instead of /arc/file. It isn't a problem for me as my tree structure is limited to just a couple of directories, but could be a problem for those with a deeper one. Or am I not specifying something correctly?
