I apologize, I explained it wrong. Let me try to explain it correctly with a different example. host1.domain.com Source Directory: /data -files-from file c/contents c/contents I want this to end up on host2.domain.com as /backup/x/contents /backup/x/contents So it's not the root thats the problem but the next level down. I need to be able to list the paths to be backed up via -files-from, but yet need c to end up as x on the destination.
