Hi,

I am using --link-dest for my rotating backups. Noticing the "--detect-renamed-lax" patch to rsync 3.0.0. I was hoping to make use of the --detect-moved. Unfortunately, "--detect-moved" does not seem to recognize the --linkdest option. A moved file is getting transferred again and a new file is created at the receiving end instead of linking to the moved file. Am I doing something wrong or is --link-dest simply not supported by --detect-moved?

Here is the command I am using:

/usr/bin/rsync -aHxh --stats --numeric-ids --detect-moved --link-dest=/path/to/oldbackup --password-file=/XX [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module/ /path/to/backup

I am using a detect-rename-lax patched version of of V 3.0.0 and both ends.

... Matt
