"-n" means "dry-run", no real action will be performed :).
Hope found one-line solution:
rsync -ndivv -f 'R /daily.20101030-0155/**' -f '-!r
/daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/ remote-host::Backups/
:-) I know that it is a dry run... The thing is however that all your latter
solutions work perfectly on the root of the module.
However i need to delete directories which are in subdirectories of this
module...
I guess the problem is the anchoring of the module in combination with the
filter-rules.
Reading the manual about 'anchoring include/exclude patterns' and checking out
the filter-rules did not help me.
Can you get your last example to work with a subdirectory of a directory in the
module its-self ?
The thing i tried below (with the added "SUBDIR/") does not work:
( i try to remove the tree: "remote-host::Backups/SUBDIR/daily.20101030-0155")
rsync -divvv -f 'R /*SUBDIR/*daily.20101030-0155/**' -f '-!r
/SUBDIR/daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/
remote-host::Backups/*SUBDIR/*
A final hint? ;)
rsync -divvv -f 'R /daily.20101030-0155/**' -f '-!r
/daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/ remote-host::Backups/SUBDIR/
The latter example of Edvinas works perfectly. It deletes the directory
tree:
"remote-host::Backups/SUBDIR/daily.20101030-0155"
It seems that filters are relative to the whole destination path, and
not only themodule (as for example '--link-dest' is).
Thanks a lot for your help Edvinas (and also Matt),
this seemed like a trivial thing to do, but certainly wasn't for a
rsync-filter-newbie ;-)
Cheers!
