Hello everyone: I keeps using rsync to backup my files on my laptop from one folder to another, and to reduce disk usage, so I use "--link-dest" option for incremental backup like this:
*rsync -a --link-dest=/local/old /tmp/myfile /local/new* And "/local/old" is backuped some days ago, I use "--link-dest" option to keep unchanged files as links to new destination "/local/new", and it works so well. ------------------------------------------------------- Today I have a remote rsync server, I suppose the "--link-dest" option should also works in remote server, so I use rsync like this: *rsync -a --link-dest=/remote/old /tmp/myfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]: :backup/remote/new* and "/remote/old" directory on 192.168.0.10 is backuped some days ago, however, with command memtioned above, unchanged files in "/remote/old" are not changed(linked). Also I tried to use: *rsync -a [EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup**/remote/old /tmp/myfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup/remote/new *and change "/remote/old" absolute path to relative path like "../old", but unchanged files are still not been linked. So, I want to know does the "--link-dest" option allow remote path been linked? Thanks
