Hi, I'm looking for an rsync command with the following features: - From specified directories copy new & changed files to destination. - Do not synchronise deletions. Which attributes are needed on the rsync command? Purpose (for those interested) I'm going to use this in my dual-bay NAS (D-LINK DNS-323). This is an example of what I have running now: rsync -aivx /mnt/HD_a2/FOTOS /mnt/HD_b2/BACKUP This is the scripting and HOWTO of the backup system for this NAS. http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:backup
Thanks. I just found something very explanatory: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/use-rsync-to-backup-directory/ indeed you are correct: Assuming that USB pen or external USB hard disk is mounted at /mnt/usbpen, enter the following command to backup (sync) new files and changes to existing files but don't remove files in backup directory: $ rsync -au /home/tom /mnt/usbpen To delete files in backup directory that no longer exist in directory being backed up, enter: $ rsync -au --delete /home/tom /mnt/usbpen[/SIZE]
