Thanks for the reply. The link-dest is different. It is Feb 1 while the source is Feb 2.
I tried setting path = /media/external/ for the daemon and using rsync -a -v -i --delete --link-dest=backup-2016-02-01-0100 --password-file=/media/external/scripts/offsite_rsync.pass /media/external/backup/backup-2016-02-02-0100 backup@192.168.2.102: :offsite/backup So all three (link-dest, source, target) are directories but get the same result. The directory backup-2016-02-02-0100 is created on the target server and all files start to be transferred to it. Must be an issue with the way I'm setting link-dest On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 4:42 PM Kevin Korb <k...@sanitarium.net> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > by misaligned I meant that your source is a directory, your link-dest > is a directory (with the same name even), and your target is the root > of the share.
