Re: [LUAU] rsync question
The files are only removed when —delete is passed. Let’s verify:
foo$ mkdir src dst
foo$ touch src/{1,2,3,4,5}
foo$ rsync -av src/ dst/
building file list ... done
./

The issue is that I can't afford to lose any data off my sensors. I've got
the remote server mounted in fstab so that it looks like two local
directories.
I want to make sure everything in the local directory is copied and synced
(updated) to the remote. But if someone deletes a file on the local
machine
but the file exists on the remote side, I don't want that remote file
deleted.
I've been searching like crazy, but rsync always seems to want to delete
the remote file.
Should I consider something other than rsync?

Re: [LUAU] rsync question
Nice, thanks Vince...the man pages are more than a little confusing on this
topic but logically the -delete option should mean that the default is no
delete. I should have just done a test case (like you did) so thanks for
the sledge hammer over the head.
