Thanks Kevin, but I don't understand your message, or at least how it answers my "real question" (last paragraph)... and by the way --delete defaults to --delete-during for current versions of rsync as far as I know... > rsync doesn't really give much control over the order it does things > in. If you want to control when the deletions happen there is only - > --delete-before or --delete-during but both are slower than the > default - --delete.
