The rsync stdout typically lists directories "considered" with a "/" at the end and lists those files that actually get copied/sync'd by name with no "/" at the end.  If I understand your "problem" correctly, you want to see only the copied files.

My suggestion: save the report email as a text file (e.g. report.txt) and use the grep command to filter out the lines that end with a "/" (forward slash) character, e.g.:

    grep -v '\$'  report.txt
Exactly that is my problem.I would have to run a routine every day to see what is backed up.Wouldn't it be much easier if rsync itself filters out the lines that have been backed up?A program with so many options could also contain an additional function with which the desired can be set.That would be a lot easier than doing it yourself every day.Sorry, but I'm not a programmer to do this myself ...

The grep command comes standard with all *nix and Linux distros and is incluaded with CygwinX for windows <https://www.cygwin.com/install.html> systems.  See this macworld article <https://www.macworld.com/article/173702/jangeekfactor.html> if you are running a mac.

I hope this is helpful...

Viel Glück!

    Hello everyone,

    Briefly to my problem - or wish: By lucky coincidence I came into
    possession of an HP Proliant.
    My junior installed OpenMediaVault for me.
    I've been using it as a daily backup for my TeraStation ever since.
    Rsync is set up for this.
    Every day I get two emails from this backup, in which the complete
    directory is listed that is due to be backed up.
    But that's pretty confusing, because that's currently more than
    8000 lines in total.
    And why? Because, among other things, I back up my directories
    with the photos from one NAS to another.
    And that's quite a lot of directories from the last 20 years ...
    In between, individual files appear in individual directories that
    have changed and have been saved as a result.
    Isn't it possible that only those files appear in this mail that
    were actually backed up because of the change?
    That would be easier and clearer ...
    Maybe there is already a solution - an additional option button -
    *to only display the copied files in the report* ...

    What can i do? What parameter work right? Is there an option for
    that?
