Hello, I use --link-dest which works perfectly : rsync -a -R --link-dest="../2016-12-28/" --link-dest="../2016-12-27/" /my/backup/folder ::daemon/mycomputer/2016-12-29/
Now I would like to use --fuzzy --fuzzy, so that rsync algorithm can also work with similarly named files found in other link-dest directories. So I simply added --fuzzy --fuzzy to my previous command line. But it does not work. --fuzzy --fuzzy eligible files are not detected (--debug=FUZZY2 gives nothing at all). Files are still correctly linked, but for every file, rsync daemon logs the following : file has vanished: "/mycomputer/2016-12-29/2016-12-28/my/backup/folder/file" file has vanished: "/mycomputer/2016-12-29/2016-12-27/my/backup/folder/file" I don't have these errors with only one --fuzzy. So sounds like these are related to --fuzzy --fuzzy, which tries to reach files in link-dest directories, but does not succeed because of a wrongly calculated path. I'm already surprised that it tries to reach these directories for every file to backup, even if the file has to be simply hard-linked (same name/date/perms etc...). Sender and receiver are both rsync 3.1.2. Thank you very much for your help ! Best regards, Ben -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
