I can use --link-dest multiple times for backups so that files affected by a backup-delete-backup-replace-backup scenario get linked. It works well.
However, consider this scenario: backup-modify-backup-undo-backup. We have * backup 1 contains file 'a' * backup 2 contains file 'a' ( with modified content) * backup 3 contains file 'a' However, the file 'a' in backups 1 and 3 are not linked. I guess the search by backup 3 stops when it hits the file 'a' with modified content in backup 2 and the earlier file in backup 1 that has the same content isn't found and therefore not linked. Is there a way to tell rsync to continue trying futher link-dest directories in the hope of finding a match ? I have rsync 3.1.2. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
