Those are two very different things -- the first copies items from inside the /home dir (and usually only non-dot names), and the latter copies the /home directory itself, which will put all the copied items an extra level deep (you probably wanted a trailing slash after /home). > In all cases rsyncing the original file system copies all files; but files > and directories removed are not reliably removed from the rsync mirror. See the manpage for why you should never use a wild-card with delete (use '.' instead). > It takes around 4 hours to build a file list - blech! Rsync 3.0.0 (in pre-release testing) doesn't have this problem due to its incremental recursion algorithm. ..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
