I either have a problem with rsync or it is not intended to do what I am asking it to do.
I am trying to mirror a copy of /home/foo to a local usb drive. The copy is made, but the destination does not appear to be deleting files I have deleted on the source. Here is the command line I am using (part of a script I use to do this and other housekeeping chores): As root: rsync -av --progress --delete --exclude /home/foo/.local/share/Trash \ --log-file=/home/foo/Desktop/$(date +%Y%m%d)_rsync.log.usb$disk \ /home/foo /media/usb$disk What am I doing wrong? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
