You're saying if I rsync /home/user and then delete /home/user from the source and rsync again with --delete, it won't delete /home/user from the destination? Is there a workaround for that? I'd like to keep the source and destination in sync. - Grant >>> I'm trying to use wildcards and nested files and I think there >>> must be a better way than what I'm doing.
