Hi,
I am trying to use rsync for incremental backup and I am facing some issues. I 
would like to ask your help to understand what is going on and have the proper 
command line. 

1) my goal is 

I the following folders:
./dest:
file3.txt

./orig:
file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt

And I would like to have as incremental backup
./dest:
backup      file1.txt     file2.txt  file3.txt

./dest/backup:file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt
./orig:
file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt


However, I got the following. Also, if I repeat the command, the files are 
deleted from /dest.
./dest:
backup      file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt  file3.txt

./dest/backup:

./orig:
file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt



2) simulation that I did 

[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]: rsync --backup --backup-dir=backup -avi 
--compare-dest=../dest /tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests/orig/ 
/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests/dest/
sending incremental file list
>f+++++++++ file1.txt
>f+++++++++ file10.txt
>f+++++++++ file2.txt
>f+++++++++ file20.txt

sent 283 bytes  received 92 bytes  750.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]: ls -R
backup-fullincremental.sh   backup-fullincremental2.sh  dest                    
    orig

./dest:
backup      file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt  file3.txt

./dest/backup:

./orig:
file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]: rsync --backup --backup-dir=backup -avi 
--compare-dest=../dest /tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests/orig/ 
/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests/dest/
sending incremental file list

sent 123 bytes  received 12 bytes  270.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]:
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]:
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]: ls -R
backup-fullincremental.sh   backup-fullincremental2.sh  dest                    
    orig

./dest:
backup     file3.txt

./dest/backup:

./orig:
file1.txt   file10.txt  file2.txt   file20.txt
[billqap1:/tmp/edbcdsj/rsynctests]:

Thanks, 
Regards,CJ
