Does the --backup, --backup-dir set require that either then source or target be a remote connection?
Test folder hierarchy: /Users/localskaiser/source/myfile.txt /Users/localskaiser/source/a/b/c/newfile.txt /Users/localskaiser/target /Users/localskaiser/archive I can not get the following command to work (after running it once, and then modifying newfile.txt): [skaiser-pbg4:~] localska% /usr/local/bin/rsync --delete --backup --backup-dir=/Users/localskaiser/archive -a /Users/localskaiser/source /Users/localskaiser/target stat "/Users/localskaiser/archive/source/a/b/c/newfile.txt" failed: No such file or directory rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(639) However, this command works (after running it once, and then modifying newfile.txt): [skaiser-pbg4:~] localska% /usr/local/bin/rsync --delete --backup --backup-dir=/Users/localskaiser/archive -a [EMAIL PROTECTED]::skaiser/current /Users/localskaiser/target I am running RsyncX 2.1 (rsync 2.6.0 protocol version 27) on both the local and rsync server machines.
