The situation with my rsync config, as stated in my first post, is this: 1) In the source I've got a directory with several files inside it. 2) When first executed, rsync copies everything correctly. 3) On the source, I delete the directory. 4) On next execution, rsync renames all the files inside the directory as I told it to do so. But the directory will not be renamed like it did with the files. Instead rsync tries to delete the directory finishing with an obvious warning of "cannot delete non-empty directory". is it clear? As long as I've searched, this seems the normal behaviour of rsync, and I have nothing against it. I'm just trying to achieve my personal results either with a combination of options or in some other way (i.e. looking at rsync output with a bash script or whatever), or even asking here if this can be implemented. First question: if a --suffix-dir option can be implemented, the suffixed dirs will be exluded by --filter option? It should, as long as the directory is a file itself on unix systems, but I didn't tried it already.
