This indicates that rsync is seeing "test_laptop" as a folder inside the source. If you want that folder mapped directly to the destination, that would typically require appending "test_laptop/" to the source path. > I use following command to back current data to server. > rsync -avzrtopg --progress --delete --backup > --backup-dir=Increment/2000-00-03-180303 > "/cygdrive/d/backup_test/back/test_laptop/" ad...@192.168.2.23::admin_test That's odd: you do have the trailing slash on the source, so that command shouldn't have created a "test_laptop" folder inside the "admin_test" module.
