Until such time as the situation with --link-dest changes consider syncing into an empty directory (if at all possible). If you are using rsync for backup then you may wish to take a look at LBackup <http://www.lbackup.org> or the source code <http://www.lbackup.org/source/>. At present LBackup will only keeps a single copy of the previous backup attempt and this attempt is not referenced or used in any way to reduce bandwidth for subsequent backup attempts. This approach may change in a future release of LBackup (eg. keeping a history of previous failed backup attempts and adding previous failed backup attempts as link-dest paths). However, at present this is simple approach is employed to ensure that LBackup is generating a reliable backup snapshot(s). In the mean time, hopefully, either LBackup or the source code for the project will be of assistance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution. http://www.lbackup.org _______________________________________________ lbackup-discussion mailing list http://www.lbackup.org Change options or unsubscribe : http://lbackup.org/mailing_lists
