--- Comment #10 from Rainer Glaschick <r...@online.de> 2014-06-04 06:56:27 UTC --- I vote for the original proposal. Using --files-from does not work with --delete, which is absolutely correct, but --newer could delete all files on the target that are not in the newer list. I use rsync for backup to large external harddisk monthly, that is disconnected and moved to a save place otherwise. In between these full mirror backups, I use a small device (actually a raspberry pi in a separate room) receiving an incremental backup of all the files that are newer. While in this case cleaning the incremental backup after the full backup works, the --newer option would be better, as I am alyways reluctant erasing files on backup devices manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
