Hello all,

This is my first post to this mailing list. I have been using rsync for a bit 
and have it mostly working the way I want.

I have a backup server that I run all scripts from. It rsyncs data from four 
different Linux servers via cron. A sample of a script is here:

rsync -avz --log-format="%t %b %f %l %M" --delete --stats -e "ssh -i 
/root/rsync/authors-rsync-key" bac...@mydomain.com:/disk2/www /backup/seic37 
2>&1 >> /var/log/rsync/rsync.log

This works fine and I get the log file entry that shows this:

2011/11/22 13:20:51 2089 acad0304/alllibdirstaff.MYI 2048 2011/08/31-12:46:20

I would like to include the IP and/or hostname of the machine being backed up, 
but when I use %a (remote IP) or %h (remote host) in the -log-format=, it just 
writes the literal %a or %h in those fields. Could this be because I am running 
scripts from the machine that is on the receiving end.

Inspire me. Thanks.
