Is this possible?
This should just be a matter of changing the destination in your rsync command line from "/backup" to "/var". The original command (assuming a push) would look like: rsync [OPTION...] -r --files-from=THE-FF-LIST /data/ host2:/backup/ The new command would look like: rsync [OPTION...] -r --files-from=THE-FF-LIST /data/ host2:/var/ Am I missing something?
