I simplified my request a bit though, and need to delete a subdirectory of the module. Analogue to the above I tried: rsync -ndv -f '-!r /subdir/daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/ remote-host::Backups/subdir This however does not delete anything. What am i missing?"-n" means "dry-run", no real action will be performed :). Hope found one-line solution: rsync -ndivv -f 'R /daily.20101030-0155/**' -f '-!r /daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/ remote-host::Backups/ :-) I know that it is a dry run... The thing is however that all your latter solutions work perfectly on the root of the module. However i need to delete directories which are in subdirectories of this module... I guess the problem is the anchoring of the module in combination with the filter-rules. Reading the manual about 'anchoring include/exclude patterns' and checking out the filter-rules did not help me. Can you get your last example to work with a subdirectory of a directory in the module its-self ? The thing i tried below (with the added "SUBDIR/") does not work: ( i try to remove the tree: "remote-host::Backups/SUBDIR/daily.20101030-0155") rsync -divvv -f 'R /SUBDIR/daily.20101030-0155/**' -f '-!r /daily.20101030-0155' --del /tmp/empty_dir/ remote-host::Backups/SUBDIR/A final hint? ;) |
