Hello. I am launching a cron bash script that does the following:
Day 1 /usr/bin/rsync -aH --link-dest /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-25 root@192.168.1.103:/home/ /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-26 Day 2 /usr/bin/rsync -aH --link-dest /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-26 root@192.168.1.103:/home/ /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-27 Day 3 /usr/bin/rsync -aH --link-dest /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-27 root@192.168.1.103:/home/ /home/backuper/.BACKUP/0000009/2018-06-28 and etc. The backup server experiences a large flow of data when the quantity of files exceeds millions, as rsync scans the files of the previous day because of the link-dest option. Is it possible to use the batch-file mechanism in such a way, so that when using the link-dest option, the file with the metadata from the current day could the executed the following day without having to scan the folder, that is linked in the link-dest?
